The leaf switches(access switches) can reside in traditional centralized network distribution areas, middle of row (MoR) positions or end of row (EoR) positions–all of which use structured cabling to connect to the servers. In a fat-tree(leaf-spine) switch fabric, data center managers have faced multiple configuration options that require decisions regarding the application, cabling and where to place access switches that connect to servers. Don’t you want to know how these switches are physically fixed and how can we make it in the best and efficient way? In this article, we will see how that idea of fat tree(leaf-spine) architecture is physically implemented in the data center and its various types. In a data center distribution of network equipment, the physical architecture is having a major role in defining the design, cost, and labor related to your networks. There is no doubt that fat tree architecture(leaf-spine architecture) is the most emerging one and 3-tier architecture has started to eliminate in many network environments. In my previous article, we have seen different switching architectures that define the logical aspects used in a data center cabling.
