removes the distribution layer in favor of a spine-leaf design used in modern data center deployments

adds a distribution layer to free up resources from the Core for improved performance and routing throughput

a more scalable design over by leveraging a distribution layer to handle Layer 3 routing and access control in large deployments

uses only Layer 2 access on the Access and the Core with Layer 3 routing and access control provided at the distribution layer

is considered legacy by requiring a large flat layer-two broadcast domain from Core to Access and should be avoided

The CX 6300M has support for IP addressing applied to switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) but not on routed ports.

LLDP is not enabled but is supported on all AOS-CX switches.

The CX 6300M up-link ports only support routed mode. All other ports only support access mode.

For the CX 6300M switch, all up-link ports and switchports are configured as access mode.

LLDP is enabled on up-link ports and switchports for the CX 6300M.

a group of computer resources that communicates between geographically separate location

the connection between two separate buildings in the same campus

a network of devices over long distances but limited to within a single ISP

compute resources that are networked locally over wireless

A VSF stack is allowed between an AOS-CX 6300M and 6300F switches.

VSF is a core or aggregation layer stacking technology due to the high resiliency of sharing a single control plane.

The VSF feature is not compatible between AOS-CX and AOS platforms.

A VSF stack is allowed between an AOS 5400R and an AOS-CX 6400.

VSF and VSX are stacking option with the AOS-CX 8320. 8325. 8400. and 6400 models.
