spine. 100GbE uplink ports on leafs are used to maximize bandwidth. Each host has one connection to each
leaf configured as an LACP port channel on the host and as a VLT port channel on the two leafs. Connections
from hosts to S5248F-ON leaf switches are 25GbE. Connections from hosts to S4148U-ON leaf switches are
10GbE (not shown).

Optionally, the two QSFP28-DD double density ports (2x100GbE interfaces per physical port), available
on S5248F-ON switches, may be used for the VLTi instead of the QSFP28 ports (1x100GbE interface per
