Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 245

A Cisco ACI fabric has 10 standalone leaf switches. The requirement is for the APIC to select the odd switches as a VPC group and select even switches as another VPC group automatically. Which VPC protection type must be configured to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. serial
• B. consecutive
• C. reciprocal
• D. explicit

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, reciprocal, as it allows the configuration of VPC groups based on the specified criteria for odd and even switches. Options A (serial), B (consecutive), and D (explicit) do not provide the necessary mechanism for automatic grouping based on the odd/even switch numbering.
