Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 228

A Cisco ACI is integrated with a VMware vSphere environment. The port groups must be created automatically in vSphere and propagated to hypervisors when created in the ACI environment. Which action accomplishes this goal?

Answer options

• A. Create the port groups on the vCenter that reflect the EPG names in the APIC
• B. Assign the uplinks of the ESXi hosts to the vDS that the APIC created
• C. Configure contracts for the EPGs that are required on the ESXi hosts
• D. Associate the VMM domain with the EPGs that must be available in vCenter

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is to associate the VMM domain with the EPGs that must be available in vCenter, as this enables the automatic creation of port groups in vSphere based on the EPG configuration. The other options involve actions that do not facilitate automatic port group creation; for instance, creating port groups manually (option A) or linking uplinks (option B) do not automate the process, and configuring contracts (option C) does not directly influence port group creation.
