Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 271

A network engineer is integrating a new Hyperflex storage duster into an existing Cisco ACI fabric. The Hyperflex cluster must be managed by vCenter, so a new vSphere Distributed switch must be created. In addition, the hardware discovery must be performed by a vendor-neutral discovery protocol. Which set of steps meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Configure an Interface Policy group, select CDP, and apply it to the desired interfaces. Enter the vCenter IP and credentials in the Create vCenter Controller dialog box. In the Create VMware VMM domain dialog box, select Read-Only Mode.
• B. Configure an Interface Policy group, select LLDP, and apply it to the selected interfaces. Create a VLAN pool, add it to the VMware VMM domain, and include the appropriate interfaces. Enter the vCenter IP and credentials in the Create vCenter Controller dialog box.
• C. Configure a Switch Policy group, select LLDP, and apply it to the indicated interfaces. Set up a VMware VMM domain and apply it to the appropriate interfaces. Enter the APIC management IP and credentials in the Create vCenter Controller dialog box.
• D. Configure an Interface Policy group, select CDP, and apply it to the designated interfaces. Create a VMware VMM domain, add it to the VLAN pool, and associate it to the designated interfaces. Select Read Only Mode in the Create VMware VMM domain dialog box.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it specifies using LLDP, which is a vendor-neutral discovery protocol, and includes creating a VLAN pool necessary for the VMware VMM domain. Option A is incorrect as it uses CDP instead of LLDP, while C incorrectly mentions a Switch Policy group instead of an Interface Policy group. Option D also incorrectly uses CDP and does not align with the requirement of a vendor-neutral protocol.
