10 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide with Cisco ACI
4 Dell EMC ToR switches with Cisco ACI environment
overview
The example that is shown in this paper covers deploying S5248F-ON switches connected to a Cisco ACI
environment. By integrating the ToR switch pair into an ACI environment, compute resources within the rack
can use ACI gateways and access ACI resources.
The validated Cisco ACI environment includes a pair of Nexus C93180YC-EX switches as leaf switches as
shown in Figure 5. The C93180YC-EX leaf switch pair are connected to a single Nexus C9336-PQ spine
using 40GbE uplinks (not shown).

Connections from S5248F-ON switches to the C93180YC-EX leaf pair are 100 GbE. These connections are
shown in blue in Figure 5.
Note: The wiring diagram in Figure 5 is drawn to show the types of connections in a carefully arranged
fashion for clarity. The port numbers and connection locations may differ in the actual deployment.
No physical peer link is used between the Cisco ACI leaf switches. See the Cisco ACI documentation for
more information.
