Deployment Guide

12 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide with Cisco ACI
The existing Cisco ACI environment has two PowerEdge R730xd rack servers that are directly connected to
the ACI leaf switches. These rack servers are in a VMware vSphere cluster, with a vCenter VM named
mgmtvc01 on R730xd-01 as shown in Figure 6.
Integrating the S5248F-ON switches into the Cisco ACI environment enables the four PowerEdge R730xd
servers in the rack to join the existing VMware vSphere cluster. This enables all hosts and VMs to
communicate using the relevant networks.
The in-band test environment uses the five networks that are shown in Table 3.
