Implementing Cisco ACI Advanced (DCACIA) — Question 70

An engineer is configuring ACI Multi-Pod between two data centers and must plan the physical cabling in the primary data center. How must the Cisco ACI Multi-Pod topology be connected?

Answer options

• A. Connect spine switch 201 and 202 in pod 1 directly to spine switch 201 and 202 in pod 2.
• B. Connect leaf switch 101 and 102 in pod 1 directly to leaf switch 101 and 102 in pod 2.
• C. Connect spine switch 201 and 202 in pod 1 to ports on a device that is providing IP connectivity between pods.
• D. Connect leaf switch 101 and 102 in pod 1 to ports on a device that is providing IP connectivity between pods.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the spine switches in a Multi-Pod topology must connect to a device that facilitates IP connectivity between different pods, ensuring proper communication. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest direct connections between spine and leaf switches of different pods, which is not how Multi-Pod topology is designed to function. Option D is also incorrect because it refers to leaf switches instead of spine switches.
