5 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide with Cisco ACI
1 Introduction
Dell EMC Networking is committed to providing customers with modern data center networking technology to
be the foundation for digital transformation. Customers can choose from a wide range of industry-standard
network applications, operating systems, and hardware platforms to realize cost savings and improvement in
service agility.
This document provides an example for the deployment of a pair of top-of-rack (ToR) Dell EMC Networking
switches into an existing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) environment. The example details how
Layer 2 domains can be extended into and out of an ACI fabric with Dell EMC Networking switches in a way
that provides high throughput and failure tolerance. The example shows how devices that are connected to
Dell EMC Networking switches can be integrated with the ACI fabric to communicate with and access ACI
resources.

The deployment example includes instructions to configure a pair of Dell EMC S5248F-ON switches. The
example demonstrates connectivity to a pair of Cisco Nexus C93180YC-EX switches in ACI mode.
