Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 15

An engineer is extending an EPG out of the ACI fabric using static path binding. Which statement about the endpoints is true?

Answer options

• A. Endpoints must connect directly to the ACI leaf port.
• B. External endpoints are in a different bridge domain than the endpoints in the fabric.
• C. Endpoint learning encompasses the MAC address only.
• D. External endpoints are in the same EPG as the directly attached endpoints.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because external endpoints are indeed part of the same EPG as their directly connected counterparts, allowing consistent policy application. Option A is incorrect as endpoints do not necessarily need to connect directly to the ACI leaf port. Option B is wrong because external endpoints can exist within the same bridge domain as those in the fabric. Option C is also incorrect since endpoint learning includes both MAC and IP addresses.
