CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 79

Which statement about multipod setup is true?

Answer options

• A. Pod TEP pools must not be nonoverlapping.
• B. APICs configured in Pod-2 are assigned a TEP address from the Pod-2 TEP pool.
• C. APICs can be configured in any Pod.
• D. Pod TEP subnet pools must be the same size.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because APICs in a specific pod are assigned TEP addresses from their designated TEP pool, ensuring proper network segmentation. Option A is incorrect as Pod TEP pools can overlap. Option C is misleading since APICs are typically assigned to specific pods based on design. Option D is wrong because the TEP subnet pools do not have to be the same size, allowing for flexibility in network design.
