Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 13

An engineer must connect Cisco ACI fabric using Layer 2 with external third-party switches. The third-party switches are configured using 802.1s protocol. Which two constructs are required to complete the task? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. spanning tree policy for mapping MST Instances to VLANs
• B. MCP policy with PDU per VLAN enabled
• C. MCP instance policy with administrative slate disabled
• D. dedicated EPG for native VLAN
• E. static binding of native VLAN in all existing EPGs

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D. A spanning tree policy is essential for mapping MST Instances to VLANs, allowing the integration of Cisco ACI with third-party switches using the 802.1s protocol. A dedicated EPG for the native VLAN is also necessary to ensure proper traffic handling. Options B, C, and E do not provide the specific constructs required for this Layer 2 connectivity.
