How do rack types in Apstra integrate with leaf and spine topologies?

Rack types are only used for spine switches; leaf switches are defined by the fabric topology.

Rack types define the leaf switches and their connected devices, while spine switches are defined in a separate spine rack type.

Rack types are used only for server racks; leaf and spine switches are defined separately.

Rack types are independent of the leaf-spine topology and are only used for cabling documentation.

An engineer is using Apstra to design a server rack with 24 servers, each with two 25GbE ports. The rack will have two ToR switches. The engineer wants to use a rack connectivity template that defines the cabling. However, the engineer notices that the template defines a specific port mapping that does not match the physical cabling plan. What should the engineer do?

Ignore the template and manually define the cabling in the fabric design.

Use the template as-is and adjust the physical cabling to match the template.

Modify the template to match the physical cabling plan, ensuring the template accurately reflects the intended connections.

Create a new rack type from scratch instead of using a template.

Which statement is true regarding storage racks in Apstra?

Storage racks are designed to house storage devices and may include leaf switches to provide connectivity to the fabric.

Storage racks must use a separate leaf-spine topology from server racks.

Storage racks are used only for backup devices and do not connect to the main fabric.

Storage racks are identical to server racks and require no special design considerations.

What is a key consideration when designing a storage rack in Apstra?

Storage devices typically require higher bandwidth and lower latency connections to the fabric.

Storage racks cannot include leaf switches because storage devices connect directly to the spine.

Storage devices require more power than servers, so the rack must have higher power capacity.

Storage devices must be connected to a separate storage network that is isolated from the data network.

Which factor is most important when selecting a rack type in Apstra?

The type of devices that will be placed in the rack.

The number of racks in the data center.
