Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 180

An engineer wants to configure Cisco ACI switches to use authenticated ZMQ when communicating with the proxy spine. Which configuration allows MD5 ZMQ messages only?

Answer options

• A. COOP Group policy in strict mode
• B. IS-IS password using MD5
• C. BGP password using MD5
• D. COOP Group policy in compatible mode

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the COOP Group policy in strict mode enforces the use of MD5 for ZMQ messages, ensuring secure communication. Options B and C refer to password configurations for different protocols that do not specifically relate to ZMQ messaging, while option D allows for more flexibility and does not restrict to MD5 only.
