Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 193

An engineer must integrate Layer 4 to Layer 7 services within Cisco ACI Fabric. The main requirement is to have a single point of configuration for network elements and firewall policies.

Which action meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Define the service graph model as network policy mode.
• B. Deploy the firewalls in routed mode with PBR.
• C. Deploy the firewalls in transparent mode.
• D. Define the service graph model as service policy mode.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because defining the service graph model as service policy mode allows for a centralized configuration point that integrates Layer 4 to Layer 7 services effectively. Options A, B, and C do not provide the same level of centralized management required for network elements and firewall policies.
