Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 70

In-band is currently configured and used to manage the Cisco ACI fabric. The requirement is for leaf and spine switches to use out-of-band management for NTP protocol. Which action accomplishes this goal?

Answer options

• A. Select Out-of-Band as Management EPG in the default DateTimePolicy.
• B. Create an Override Policy with NTP Out-of-Band for leaf and spine switches.
• C. Change the interface used for APIC external connectivity to ooband.
• D. Add a new filter to the utilized Out-of-Band-Contract to allow NTP protocol.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Selecting Out-of-Band as the Management EPG in the default DateTimePolicy directs the leaf and spine switches to utilize out-of-band management for the NTP protocol. The other options either do not directly address the requirement or suggest changes that are not necessary for achieving the goal of using out-of-band management specifically for NTP.
