Implementing Cisco Data Center Virtualization and Automation (DCVAI, legacy) — Question 7

You are configuring a group of web servers and you create a contract that uses TCP port 80. Which action allows an external Layer 3 cloud to initiate communication with the EPG that contains the web servers?

Answer options

• A. Configure the EPG as a consumer and L3Out as provider of the contract.
• B. Configure OSPF to exchange routes between the L3Out and EPG.
• C. Create a taboo contract and apply it to the EPG.
• D. Configure the EPG as a provider and L3Out as consumer of the contract.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because configuring the EPG as a provider allows it to accept incoming traffic from the L3Out, which acts as a consumer in this case. Options A and B do not facilitate the desired communication direction, while option C would prevent any communication by imposing restrictions.
