CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 42

Which two actions must occur for an APIC to be discovered successfully into a new ACI fabric? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The fabric controller target size must be equal to or greater than the number of APICs.
• B. A BIOS password must be set.
• C. LLDP must be enabled on the virtual interface card of the APIC.
• D. The controller must be discovered automatically.
• E. LLDP must be disabled on the virtual interface card of the APIC.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

For the APIC to be successfully discovered, the fabric controller target size must accommodate the number of APICs, hence option A is correct. Additionally, LLDP must be enabled on the virtual interface card of the APIC to facilitate discovery, making option C correct as well. Options B, D, and E are not prerequisites for the discovery process in this context.
