Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 85

A network engineer must perform a VMM integration for the VMWare vCenter platform with the Cisco ACI Fabric. The vCenter is already installed in one of the rack servers connected to ACI leaf switches in a vPC mode. Which type of management network must be used to integrate vCenter with ACI?

Answer options

• A. in-band management
• B. APIC infra
• C. out-of-band management
• D. VLAN infra

Correct answer: A

Explanation

In-band management is necessary for the integration because it allows for direct communication over the same network used for data traffic, which is vital for ACI integration. Out-of-band management and the others do not facilitate the same level of integration needed with the ACI Fabric, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
