A network architect is designing a two-tier spine-leaf data center fabric. Each of the 8 leaf switches connects to 48 edge servers using 10 Gbps access ports, generating of potential access bandwidth per switch. The design policy mandates a maximum bandwidth oversubscription ratio of across the spine fabric. If all spine and leaf interconnect interfaces operate at 40 Gbps, which architecture satisfies the oversubscription constraint while adhering to standard Clos topology rules?
- Deploy 4 spine switches and connect each leaf switch with a single 40 Gbps link to every spine switch.Cevap
- BDeploy 2 spine switches and connect each leaf switch with dual 40 Gbps uplinks to every spine switch while trunking the spine switches together.
- CDeploy 3 spine switches and connect each leaf switch to two designated spine switches to isolate traffic domains.
- DDeploy 8 spine switches and connect each leaf switch to one dedicated spine switch to eliminate collision domains.
Cevap
Deploying 4 spine switches where each leaf switch has a single 40 Gbps uplink to every spine switch correctly provides 160 Gbps of uplink capacity per leaf (meeting the 3:1 oversubscription ratio) and strictly obeys Spine-Leaf bipartite graph connectivity rules.
Each leaf switch requires of uplink bandwidth to achieve a oversubscription ratio. Using 40 Gbps links, each leaf switch needs 4 uplinks. Standard Spine-Leaf design rules dictate that every leaf switch must connect to every spine switch, and spine switches must not connect to one another. Therefore, deploying 4 spine switches with 1 link from each leaf to each spine satisfies both bandwidth and topological requirements.
