Cisco Spine and Leaf is a data center network architecture based on Cisco systems. It is a two–tier design that uses traditional Layer 2 switching at the Leaf level with full layer 3 routing on the Spine layer devices. The primary benefit of this architecture is increased scalability and decoupling for the LAN and SAN networks. In addition, because of the two–tier design, there is improved performance and increased reliability as well. This architecture is becoming increasingly popular for data center deployments, providing redundancy and scalability.
