Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 167

A customer must deploy three Cisco ACI based data centers. Each site must be separated from the others. Which characteristic of Cisco ACI Multi-Pod makes it unsuitable for this deployment?

Answer options

• A. creates a virtual pod in the remote location
• B. requires all pods to share the same Cisco APIC cluster
• C. has distance and scale limitations
• D. places leaf switches in the remote site that belong to the same fabric as at the headquarters site

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Cisco ACI Multi-Pod requires all pods to operate under the same Cisco APIC cluster, which is not feasible for separate data centers. The other options either describe features of Multi-Pod that don't directly relate to the requirement for separation or are not limitations that affect the deployment of isolated data centers.
