Use the Type 2: Medium Core design when: • An interconnect link bandwidth between the spines and leaves at a 40 GbE line rate is required. • The current and future planned uplinks and downlinks on the leaves for your core is less than or equal to 1536 ports. • The leaves act as a switch or ToR-leaf switch. Within the ToR, the protocol can be either "VLAN" or "VLAN and LAG". NOTE: To enable the leaves to act as a ToR, check the Enable the Leaves to Act as a ToR box at the Cores > Core Deployment > Design > Create a New Core > Downlink Configuration screen. Each Z9000 spine for the Type 2: Medium Core design has the following: • 640 Gigabit of interlink maximum capacity to the spine (16 x 40Gig) • 64 10 Gig Ethernet ports for server connectivity and WAN connectivity Each S4810 leaf for the Type 2: Medium Core design has the following: • 160 Gigabit of interlink maximum capacity to the spine (4x 40Gig) • 48 10 Gig Ethernet ports for servers per node and WAN connectivity 15
