A Solutions Architect Is Asked to Design Two Data Centers

question 31

Multiple Choice

A Solutions Architect is asked to design two data centers based on Cisco ACI technology that can extend L2/L3, VXLAN, and network policy across locations. ACI Multi-Pod has been selected. Which two requirements must be considered in this design? (Choose two.)

• A) ACI underlay protocols, i.e. COOP, IS-IS and MP-BGP, spans across pods. Create QoS policies to make sure those protocols have higher priority.
• B) A single APIC Cluster is required in a Multi-Pod design. It is important to place the APIC Controllers in different locations in order to maximize redundancy and reliability.
• C) ACI Multi-Pod requires an IP Network supporting PIM-Bidir.
• D) ACI Multi-Pod does not support Firewall Clusters across Pods. Firewall Clusters should always be local.
• E) Multi-Pod requires multiple APIC Controller Clusters, one per pod. Make sure those clusters can communicate to each other through a highly available connection.
