Advanced Fabric Design – Advanced Aggregation Config

The Advanced Aggregation Config screen displays the default values for the fabric uplinks and VLTi links.

Uplinks connect the fabric from the next upstream tier of devices to the core of the network. The

minimum number of uplinks is two: one uplink is the active link and one uplink is for redundancy.
