Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 339

An engineer configures SNMP for an ACI fabric and created an SNMP Monitoring Destination Group called snmp_dgroup1. Snmp_dgroup1 is configured with the server hostname and community password. An SNMP policy called snmp_podpolicy1 is configured to enable SNMP and add an SNMP Client Group Profile called snmp_clgroup1. Snmp_podpolicy1 is associated the default pod profile via a pod policy group named pod1. Which configuration set must the engineer enable to complete the SNMP configuration?

Answer options

• A. Configure the OOB management contract to permit UDP 162. Associate snmp_dgroup1 with the OOB management EPG.
• B. Configure an SNMP management contract to permit all traffic. Associate snmp_podpolicy1 with an SNMP pod profile.
• C. Configure an SNMP management contract to permit UDP 162. Associate the SNMP Source to snmp_clgroup1.
• D. Configure the OOB management contract to permit all traffic. Associate snmp_clgroup1 with the SNMP management EPG.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because enabling UDP 162 is essential for SNMP traps and linking snmp_dgroup1 with the OOB management EPG allows for proper traffic flow to the SNMP server. Options B and D do not specifically address the required UDP 162 configuration, while option C is incorrect as it does not relate to the OOB management contract needed for external SNMP communication.
