Switch mode selection

The Cisco Nexus 9300 Series Network Switches offer three distinct modes to cater to various network requirements: MODE-ACI-LEAF, MODE-ACI-SPINE, and MODE-NXOS.

  • MODE-ACI-LEAF and MODE-ACI-SPINE are integral to Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), which provides a policy-based automation solution for data centers. In this setup, leaf switches connect directly to endpoints like servers, while spine switches form the backbone of the network, ensuring high-speed connectivity and scalability.
  • MODE-NXOS operates in standalone mode using Cisco’s NX-OS software, offering a traditional, feature-rich network operating system for environments that do not require the advanced automation and policy management capabilities of ACI.

You can specify the switch mode using the feature codes listed in the following table.
