Implementing Cisco ACI Advanced (DCACIA) — Question 54

A host that is connected to a Cisco ACI fabric leaf switch sends an ARP request. Which transmission method does the ingress switch use to send the ARP requests?

Answer options

• A. anycast
• B. broadcast
• C. multicast
• D. unicast

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is unicast because the ingress switch sends the ARP request directly to the target device's MAC address. Broadcast is incorrect as ARP requests are specifically sent to a particular device, not to all devices on the network. Multicast and anycast are also not applicable in this scenario since they involve different transmission methods that do not pertain to standard ARP requests.
