CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 53

When designing a FabricPath environment, which option is considered best practice for the interface connection type between a set of leaf and spine nodes?

Answer options

• A. port channel
• B. routed interface
• C. routed port channel
• D. port channel
• E. single interfaces

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best practice for connecting leaf and spine nodes in a FabricPath setup is to use a port channel, as it allows for increased bandwidth and redundancy. Other options like routed interfaces or single interfaces do not provide the same level of performance and reliability as port channels do in this type of network architecture.
