Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 186

An engineer must monitor a Cisco ACI fabric with SNMP. The “permit any contract” attribute is not configured in the fabric. Which action must be taken to receive SNMP traps from Cisco APIC?

Answer options

• A. Consume the inband contract from the out-of-band EPG.
• B. Configure the OOB contract under the common tenant.
• C. Add the UDP filter port 162 to the existing OOB contract.
• D. Provide a standard contract under the user tenant.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to add the UDP filter port 162 to the existing OOB contract, as SNMP traps use this port. The other options either do not address the specific requirement for SNMP traps or suggest configurations that are not relevant in this context.
