QuestionQ16

Data Center Architectures

Which statement is accurate about constructing an IP fabric?

  • A Each spine device should have a direct physical connection to every other spine device.
  • B Each spine device should have a direct physical connection to every leaf device.
  • C Each spine device must have two or more physical connections to each leaf device.
  • D Each spine device must have two or more physical connections to every other spine device.
Explanation

A spine-leaf IP fabric uses a Clos topology in which every leaf device connects directly to every spine device. This provides multiple equal-cost paths between leaves without requiring direct spine-to-spine connections; a single link or an aggregated multi-link connection may be used depending on the design.
