A metro pod wants separate IP fabrics for storage versus general compute. What architecture choice does that request illustrate at concept level?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Sometimes the city builds two neighborhoods instead of one noisy block—storage fabric here, compute fabric there. That is pod or fabric segmentation for isolation. It is not a call to mush everything back into one STP lake.
Full Explanation
Separate fabrics or pods are a valid architecture option when workload classes need isolation, blast-radius control, or different performance profiles at the L3 fabric layer. Segmentation is an intentional design choice, not a requirement to collapse into one STP domain. Shared single-VTEP/ASN mandates and spine-attached storage NICs are not what the request is asking for. Plan routing and overlay boundaries per fabric accordingly.
