Core Design - Step 2: Core Name and Type Use the Core Design Wizard at the Home > Getting Started screen to design a two-tier distributed core (spine and leaf architecture) based on the workload requirements for your current and future needs. To simplify and automate the design process, the Core Design provides three templates to build the following types of distributed cores: • Type 1: Large Core • Type 2: Medium Core • Type 3: Small Core The core designer wizard templates define the basic configuration for a distributed cores shown in the Core Name and Type screen, including: • core name • core type • core description • interlink over-subscription ratio After you enter the basic core design information, the Core Design Wizard displays a list of requirements to build in the Requirements based on the selected core type and oversubscription section at the bottom right of the screen. During the design phase, you enter information to generate a physical wiring diagram for the distributed core. The wiring diagram is typically given to the network operator who uses it to build the physical network. For information about designing a core, see Designing a Distributed Core.
