The examples presented provide a highly available and redundant network fabric to support systems and services residing within a Cisco UCS compute environment. This design guide also outlines a framework for interconnecting multiple pods of UCS compute environments using Cumulus Linux switches configured in a Layer 3 CLOS fabric, providing a cost effective solution for an immensely scalable and predictable network architecture.
