A regional design dual-homes each server to two leaves on the IP fabric. Where does that multihoming sit in the architecture?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Servers plug into leaves the way houses plug into the curb—two curb cuts for redundancy, still at the edge. Dual-homing does not turn spines into NICs or delete leaf uplinks. Keep the attachment story at the leaf edge.
Full Explanation
Server dual-homing to two leaves is the common edge-attachment pattern on an IP fabric. It improves host redundancy without changing spine underlay transit roles. Dual-homing does not replace leaf-to-spine underlay connectivity or mandate server EBGP to spines. Overlay/EVPN mechanisms may later coordinate multihoming state, but architecturally the NICs still land on leaves.
