The design ensured end-to-end redundancy with two spines, two main leaves, two remote leaves, and IPN pairs at each site, eliminating single points of failure—all supervised by a Cisco Certified Network Administrator.
WAN interconnection was configured with MTU 9000, BGP, and multicast support.
To expose external services, an L3Out was implemented with Catalyst 9500 switches, publishing VRF routes to the corporate network.
