Required inputs
Switch and NIC models, cage cooling form, lane mode, port map, rack route and fiber count.
Solution
AI Data Center Interconnect
GPU cluster fabrics, leaf-spine links and high-density 400G/800G optical paths.
Review This TopologyDesign constraint
Thermal headroom, FEC mode, MPO polarity and the difference between 800G links and two 400G branches.
Acceptance output
Per-port link-up, DOM/DDM, FEC counters, thermal soak and labeled fiber-route records.
AI Data Center Interconnect
Plan the leaf-spine link from the switch cage and GPU fabric lane map, then verify cooling form, fiber count and breakout behavior before selecting optics.

Plan and validate the route
Thermal headroom, FEC mode, MPO polarity and the difference between 800G links and two 400G branches.
Record endpoints
Switch and NIC models, cage cooling form, lane mode, port map, rack route and fiber count.
Test the constraint
Thermal headroom, FEC mode, MPO polarity and the difference between 800G links and two 400G branches.
Prevent the likely failure
A correct optical code can still fail when the heat-sink form, lane map, connector or host firmware does not match.
Define acceptance
Per-port link-up, DOM/DDM, FEC counters, thermal soak and labeled fiber-route records.
