QuestionQ52

Analyze requirements

A customer wants to host endpoints on the Border Leaf switches. Is this topology supported?

  • A Yes, configuring VLANs and SVIs on a Border is a supported way to operate.
  • B Yes, using Routed-only ports.
  • C No, as a Border Leaf is a pure Layer 3 device and has to remain like that.
  • D No, as a Border Leaf only supports Loopback addresses.
Explanation

Cisco ACI supports attaching endpoints to Border Leaf switches. Border Leaf switches can provide Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity, including VLAN and switched virtual interface (SVI) configurations; they are not limited to routed ports or loopback addresses. Endpoint attachment is fully supported when the fabric uses second-generation leaf switches or later, with applicable release-specific considerations for older platforms.
