CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 3

Which two statements about attachable access entity profiles in the ACI Fabric are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Enabling the infrastructure VLAN on an AEP is a mandatory requirement when this AEP is associated to any VMM domain.
• B. AEP provides the association of a virtual machine management domain and the physical network infrastructure.
• C. AEPs are an optional component to ACI access port configuration that ease the burden of configuring multiple individual policies.
• D. AEPs are directly bound to spine and leaf switch profiles and are then associated indirectly to interface selectors.
• E. The attached entity profile provides a template to deploy hypervisor policies on a large set of leaf ports.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Option A is correct because it is essential to enable the infrastructure VLAN on an AEP when it is connected to a VMM domain. Option B is also correct as it describes the role of AEP in linking virtual machine management with physical infrastructure. Options C, D, and E are incorrect because they either misrepresent the function of AEPs or state that they are optional components, which is not the case in this context.
