Cisco Updated 300-620 Exam Questions and Answers by jana

The characteristic of Cisco ACI Multi-Pod that makes it unsuitable for deploying three separate data centers is that it requires all pods to share the same Cisco APIC cluster. In a Multi-Pod deployment, all the pods are part of the same fabric and are managed by a single APIC cluster, which means that they are not completely isolated from each other.

To enable inter-VRF communication, the following configurations are necessary:

Set the subnet scope to Shared Between VRFs: This allows the subnets to be shared across different VRFs within the same tenant or across tenants, enabling communication between EPGs that are in different VRFs1.

Export the contract and import as a contract interface: By exporting a contract from the provider tenant and importing it as a contract interface in the consumer tenant, you establish a relationship that allows for controlled communication between EPGs in separate VRFs or tenants1.

ACI Inter VRF/Tenant Route Leaking Configuration Example1

To migrate the gateway address out of the ACI fabric for an endpoint group (EPG), the bridge domain configuration must ensure that routing is contained within the ACI fabric and that ARP requests are managed efficiently. The correct configuration set is:

L2 Unknown Unicast: Set to Hardware Proxy. This setting allows the ACI fabric to use the spine proxy function to handle unknown unicast traffic, which helps to reduce flooding within the fabric.

Unicast Routing: Set to Disabled. Since the gateway is being migrated out of the ACI fabric, unicast routing should be disabled to prevent the ACI fabric from attempting to route traffic for the EPG.

ARP Flooding: Set to Enabled. This allows ARP requests to be flooded within the bridge domain, which is necessary when the unicast routing is disabled, to ensure that ARP requests can still be resolved.

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
