describes how Cisco ACI forwards Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic within the fabric using VXLAN encapsulation, VTEPs, and Layer 3 VNIDs
ACI Fabric Optimizes Modern Data Center Traffic Flows
Describes how the ACI architecture addresses traditional data center design limitations by supporting increased east-west traffic demands and utilizing a spine-leaf topology to improve network efficiency.
VXLAN in ACI
This topic explains how VXLAN is used in Cisco ACI to extend Layer 2 segments over Layer 3 infrastructure, enabling scalable, flexible, and policy-driven data center networks.
Layer 3 VNIDs Facilitate Transporting Inter-subnet Tenant Traffic
This topic explains how Layer 3 VNIDs in the Cisco ACI fabric enable efficient routing and transport of inter-subnet tenant traffic by decoupling endpoint identity from location and leveraging VXLAN encapsulation.
