Which feature allows firewall ACLs to be configured automatically when new endpoints are attached
to an EPG?
A
Explanation:
The feature that allows firewall ACLs to be configured automatically when new endpoints are
attached to an EPG is ARP gleaning.
This feature helps in identifying the endpoints and applying the
necessary ACLs to them as they are discovered
An engineer is implementing Cisco ACI at a large platform-as-a-service provider using APIC
controllers, 9396PX leaf switches, and 9336PQ spine switches. The leaf switch ports are configured as
IEEE 802.1p ports. Where does the traffic exit from the EPG in IEEE 802.1p mode in this
configuration?
B
Explanation:
In a Cisco ACI configuration with IEEE 802.1p ports, the traffic exits from the EPG untagged from leaf
ports.
This means that when the port is configured in Access (802.1p) mode and the access VLAN is
the only VLAN deployed on the port, then traffic will be untagged on egress56
.
How is an EPG extended outside of the ACI fabric?
D
Explanation:
An EPG is extended outside of the ACI fabric by statically assigning a VLAN ID to a leaf port in an
EPG.
This method maps the traffic received on the leaf port to the EPG, and the policy for this EPG is
enforced

Where is the COOP database located?
B
Explanation:
The COOP (Council Of Oracle Protocol) database is located on each spine switch within the Cisco ACI
fabric.
The COOP database is responsible for maintaining a consistent copy of endpoint address and
location information across the fabric

Which description regarding the initial APIC cluster discovery process is true?
A
Explanation:
The initial APIC cluster discovery process involves each APIC using an internal private IP address from
a pool to communicate with the nodes and other APICs in the cluster.
The APICs discover the IP
addresses of other APIC controllers through an LLDP-based discovery process

Refer to the exhibit.
Which two components should be configured as route reflectors in the ACI fabric? (Choose two.)
A, C
Explanation:
In a Cisco ACI fabric, the spine switches are typically configured as route reflectors. This is because
spine switches are central to the fabric’s architecture and are responsible for interconnecting all the
leaf switches, making them ideal for reflecting BGP routes within the fabric. Therefore, the
components that should be configured as route reflectors are:
Spine1 (Option A)
Spine2 (Option C)
When creating a subnet within a bridge domain, which configuration option is used to specify the
network visibility of the subnet?
B
Explanation:
When creating a subnet within a bridge domain in Cisco ACI, the configuration option used to
specify the network visibility of the subnet is the scope12
.
The scope can be set to private, public, or
shared, determining how the subnet is advertised and accessed within and outside of the ACI
fabric12
.
What does a bridge domain represent?
B
Explanation:
A bridge domain in Cisco ACI represents a Layer 2 forwarding construct345
. It defines a unique Layer
2 MAC address space and can include one or more subnets.
Bridge domains are associated with a
VRF and can contain multiple EPGs345
.
Which table holds IP address, MAC address and VXLAN/VLAN information on a Cisco ACI leaf?
A
Explanation:
The table that holds IP address, MAC address, and VXLAN/VLAN information on a Cisco ACI leaf is
the endpoint table6
. This table is essential for the ACI fabric’s ability to track and apply policies to
endpoints.
