An engineer must configure Cisco ACI for VMM integration to VMware vCenter. Which two attributes must be configured on the Cisco APIC to achieve this goal? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): B,E
Option B is correct because configuring VMM integration with VMware vCenter requires specifying the virtual switch name in the APIC to map networks properly, enabling VMkernel/VMM communication over the correct switching domain. Option E is correct because APIC must be supplied with logon credentials to authenticate to the vCenter server for integration.A) Incorrect — cluster name is not a required APIC attribute for VMM integration.C) Incorrect — data center name is not an APIC configuration for VMM integration.D) Incorrect — port group is a VMware construct; APIC integration uses vSwitch and credentials, not a separate APIC port group parameter.
A Cisco ACI environment is configured to integrate with a vCenter environment using the VMM domain name west_coast_VMM. Within the ACI environment, only tenant west_coast has EPGs associated with west_coast_VMM. This deployment is new, so these EPGs currently do not have any members. A systems engineer is setting up vCenter, creates a VDS named west-coast-VMM, and deletes the VDS named west_coast_VMM. The systems engineer creates the necessary port groups that correspond with the EPGs, but when VMs are connected to the port groups, they cannot ping their gateway. Which action establishes connectivity?
Answer(s): B
Option B is correct because the VMM domain name in ACI must match the vCenter Distributed Virtual Switch (VDS) name configured in the VMM domain for proper EPG-to-VM connectivity; using a mismatched VDS name prevents the APIC from mapping EPGs to the VM network, breaking gateway reachability. A) Associating EPGs to west-coast-VMM would be correct only if the VDS name and VMM domain alignment is already established; with the VDS name mismatch, association alone does not fix connectivity. C) EPG encap-VLAN is not applicable here since connectivity relies on correct VDS/VMM name alignment rather than an explicit encap. D) Disconnecting APIC from vCenter would disable integration, not restore internal L3 gateway reachability within an already configured VMM domain.
An engineer plans to integrate a Cisco ACI fabric with VMware vCenter DVS. Which set of actions must the engineer take to ensure a successful integration?
Option B is correct because: To integrate ACI with VMware vCenter DVS, you configure a vCenter controller user with Read Write Access to allow the necessary plugin and APIC functionality to manage and synchronize policies between vCenter and ACI.A) Incorrect — ACI integration uses a vCenter controller, not a virtual switch, and Read Only Access would restrict required permissions.C) Incorrect — The control point is a vCenter controller, not a virtual switch, and VMware integration requires controller access.D) Incorrect — A Read Only Access mode is insufficient for integration and policy provisioning.
Which service graph option creates a permit entry for the traffic from the provider EPG to the provider connector of the PBR node?
Answer(s): C
In Cisco ACI, when using a service graph with Policy-Based Redirect (PBR), the single context aware option creates a permit entry specifically for traffic flowing from the provider Endpoint Group (EPG) to the provider connector of the PBR node. This ensures that the traffic is properly redirected and allowed to flow through the specified service graph for further processing.
A Cisco ACI fabric must be integrated with a VMware vSphere environment. One of the ESXi hosts is still disconnected from the Distributed Virtual Switch (DVS) and the VMM domain. Two EPGs have already been created and associated with the VMM domain. An engineer must prepare the ACI configuration such that:EPG contracts must be sent to ACI leaf switches before a hypervisor is attached to the DVS.EPG contracts must be pushed to leaf hardware as soon as the policy is downloaded into the leaf software.Which EPG configuration must be used to meet these requirements?
Pre-provision resolution ensures that contract information is sent down to the leaf switches before any ESXi host joins the DVS, so the fabric is already prepared when the hypervisor arrives.Immediate deployment pushes the policy into the hardware forwarding tables as soon as the leaf software downloads it, satisfying the requirement to have contracts active in hardware immediately.
Which service graph feature prevents redirection of traffic to a PBR node that is down?
Node tracking ensures that traffic is not redirected to a PBR (policy-based redirect) node that is down by monitoring the node's operational status and removing it from the redirect path when it becomes unavailable.
A Cisco ACI fabric must be integrated with the VMware environment. An ESXi host is not attached to the Distributed Virtual Switch (DVS). Two EPGs were created and associated with the VMM domain. An engineer was asked to configure the ACI environment to meet these requirements:· The EPG contract is pushed to ACI leafs after the ESXi host is attached to the DVS. · The EPG contract is pushed to the TCAMs only when two EPGs start to communicate.Which immediacy settings accomplish these goals?
Answer(s): D
Resolution immediacy On-Demand ensures that ACI programs EPG-to-EPG contract entries in TCAM only when the two EPGs actually communicate, meeting the requirement of pushing contracts to hardware only when needed.Deployment immediacy On-Demand ensures that the policy is pushed to the leaf switches only after the ESXi host attaches to the DVS, matching the requirement that the contract should not be deployed until the host is present.
A company's virtualization is hosted on a Nutanix infrastructure. The company has an Application Centric Infrastructure virtual machine manager (VMM) integration with a Nutanix cluster. The existing mapping uses IP address management (IPAM) settings to enable the DHCP within Nutanix to allocate IP addresses. The company wants to change the settings of the EPG-10 VMM to EPG association and remove the DHCP functionality as it is not required. Which process accomplishes this goal?
To remove DHCP/IPAM functionality from a Nutanix VMM-to-EPG association, the VMM association must be detached and then re-associated with IPAM disabled. This requires shutting down VMs, removing their subnet bindings, removing the VMM association, re-associating the VMM with IPAM turned off, and then reattaching the NICs before powering VMs back on.
