Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 254

A Cisco ACI environment is configured to integrate with a vCenter environment using the VMM domain name west_coast_VMM. Within the ACI environment, only tenant west_coast has EPGs associated with west_coast_VMM. This deployment is new, so these EPGs currently do not have any members. A systems engineer is setting up vCenter, creates a VDS named west-coast-VMM, and deletes the VDS named west_coast_VMM. The systems engineer creates the necessary port groups that correspond with the EPGs, but when VMs are connected to the port groups, they cannot ping their gateway. Which action establishes connectivity?

Answer options

• A. Associate the EPGs to west-coast-VMM.
• B. Rename the VDS to west_coast_VMM.
• C. Use the EPG encap-VLAN on the port groups.
• D. Disconnect Cisco APIC connectivity from vCenter.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct action is to rename the VDS to west_coast_VMM because the EPGs are specifically associated with that name in the ACI configuration. The other options would either not align with the existing ACI configurations or would disrupt the intended connectivity setup.
