Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 27

An engineer has set the VMM resolution immediacy to pre-provision in a Cisco ACI environment. No Cisco Discovery Protocol neighborship has been formed between the hypervisors and the ACI fabric leaf nodes. How does this affect the download policies to the leaf switches?

Answer options

• A. No policies are downloaded because LLDP is the only supported discovery protocol.
• B. Policies are downloaded when the hypervisor host is connected to the VMM VDS.
• C. Policies are downloaded to the ACI leaf switch regardless of Cisco Discovery Protocol neighborship.
• D. No policies are downloaded because there is no discovery protocol neighborship.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because policies are designed to be downloaded to the ACI leaf switches independently of the Cisco Discovery Protocol neighborship. Option A is incorrect as LLDP is not the only supported protocol, and options B and D are wrong since the policy download process does not rely solely on discovery protocol neighborship.
