Hardware Requirements
Cisco ACI Multi-Site requires ACI-mode leaf switches and spine nodes from the following listing:
-
Leaf switches:
-
Cisco Nexus 93120TX switches
-
Cisco Nexus 93128TX switches
-
Cisco Nexus 9332PQ switches
-
Cisco Nexus 9372 platform switches
-
Cisco Nexus 9396 platform switches

For more information, see Hardware Compatibility.
-
-
Spine nodes:
-
Cisco Nexus 9364C Switches
Note
Beginning with the Cisco ACI Multi-Site, Release 1.1(x), the Cisco Nexus 9364C switch is supported as an inter-site spine switch. It was not supported with Cisco ACI Multi-Site, Release 1.0(x).
-
Cisco Nexus 9500 platform switches with -EX or -FX line cards and -E or -E2 fabric modules
Note
Cisco Nexus 9336PQ switches and Cisco Nexus 9500 platform switches with non -EX/-FX line cards or using non -E/-E2 fabric modules do not support Cisco ACI Multi-Site.
-
The following figure shows how spine nodes with Cisco ACI Multi-Site supporting -EX line cards and -E fabric modules are connected to the intersite network.
Cisco ACI Multi-Site supporting spine nodes with -EX line cards can be mixed with non supporting spine nodes in the same APIC fabric but only the Cisco ACI Multi-Site supporting spine nodes can connect to the IP network as shown in the following figure.
