Figure 19 shows another option for deploying the Cisco Nexus 1100 Series in the aggregation layer or the Layer 2
and 3 boundary of the network. The VSMs residing on the Cisco Nexus 1100 Series VSA and the hosts that are
managed by the VSMs can be connected over Layer 2 or 3 as explained in the previous sections. Best practices
regarding the choice of Layer 2 or Layer 3 connectivity between the VSMs and Virtual Ethernet Modules (VEMs)
can be found in the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series deployment guide.
