Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 170

Which two protocols are used for fabric discovery in ACI? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. LLDP
• B. OSPF
• C. CDP
• D. DHCP
• E. ISIS

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) are both essential for fabric discovery in ACI. LLDP helps in discovering neighboring devices, while DHCP is used for assigning IP addresses and other configurations, which are critical for fabric connectivity. OSPF, CDP, and ISIS do not serve the primary purpose of fabric discovery in ACI.
