4.1 Validated environment In this example, two S5248F-ON switches are joined to an existing Cisco ACI environment. The rack contains two S5248F-ON and four PowerEdge R730xd servers. The connections between the ACI environment and the S5248F-ON switches consist of double-sided multichassis link aggregation group (MLAG). The double-sided MLAG connection consists of a vPC on the Cisco ACI side and a VLT port channel on the S5248F-ON side. All of the devices in the validated environment that are covered in this chapter, are connected as shown in Figure 6. Validated Dell EMC ToR and ACI environment Note: No physical peer link is used between the Cisco ACI leaf switches. See the Cisco ACI documentation for more information. Cisco recommends a minimum of three Application Policy Infrastructure Controllers (APICs) in a production environment. For this validation effort, a single APIC, named APIC-1, is used. All Dell EMC PowerEdge R730xd rack servers in this example are running VMware ESXi 6.7.0. VMs named "web," "app," and "db" on the ESXi hosts are running Ubuntu Linux guest operating systems. 11 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide with Cisco ACI

4.1
Validated environment
In this example, two S5248F-ON switches are joined to an existing Cisco ACI environment. The rack contains
two S5248F-ON and four PowerEdge R730xd servers.
The connections between the ACI environment and the S5248F-ON switches consist of double-sided multi-
chassis link aggregation group (MLAG). The double-sided MLAG connection consists of a vPC on the Cisco
ACI side and a VLT port channel on the S5248F-ON side.
All of the devices in the validated environment that are covered in this chapter, are connected as shown in
Figure 6.
Validated Dell EMC ToR and ACI environment
Note:
No physical peer link is used between the Cisco ACI leaf switches. See the Cisco ACI documentation
for more information. Cisco recommends a minimum of three Application Policy Infrastructure Controllers
(APICs) in a production environment. For this validation effort, a single APIC, named APIC-1, is used.
All Dell EMC PowerEdge R730xd rack servers in this example are running VMware ESXi 6.7.0. VMs named
“web,” “app,” and “db” on the ESXi hosts are running Ubuntu Linux guest operating systems.
