Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT) — Question 29

An engineer troubleshoots a fabric discovery failure. Which two requirements about switch connectivity must be verified to solve the problem? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. A Cisco APIC must be attached to a spine node only.
• B. A Cisco APIC must be attached to leaf nodes.
• C. Spine nodes must connect to other spine nodes.
• D. A Cisco APIC must be dual-attached to two separate spine nodes.
• E. Leaf nodes must connect to spine nodes only.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B and E because a Cisco APIC needs to be connected to leaf nodes to properly manage them, and leaf nodes must connect only to spine nodes to maintain the fabric's architecture. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the essential requirements for establishing proper switch connectivity in this context.
