I'm coming from the traditional Core\Agg layer design world and now have to re-design an existing network at a new company. I'm looking into Spine\Leaf as a possibility, but cannot find documentation out there related to where the Client access switches connect. Are they just another Leaf switch or are they connected another way?
Curious on this at another level as well. If the client access layer is just another leaf, and the environment is large enough to justify 6 spine switches. Would that mean that each client access switch would need 6 uplinks back to all the spines? That seems excessive.
Most of the searches out there that I come up with regarding client access layer in Spine\leaf only return articles referring to the leaf switches as 'access' switches for server nodes.
