What are three components of the Cisco ACI fabric? (Choose three.)

Core switches are a traditional network component and are not part of the distinct spine-and-leaf architecture of Cisco ACI.

Access switches are traditional network components and are not part of the distinct spine-and-leaf architecture of Cisco ACI.

Cisco DCNM (Data Center Network Manager) is a management platform for traditional Cisco NX-OS data center deployments, not a component of the Cisco ACI fabric itself.

Leaf switches connect directly to servers and external networks, enforcing policies defined by the APIC and providing Layer 2/3 connectivity. They are crucial access points in the ACI fabric.

Spine switches form the backbone of the ACI fabric, interconnecting all leaf switches and providing high-speed, non-blocking connectivity between them. They facilitate inter-leaf communication.

The Cisco APIC (Application Policy Infrastructure Controller) is the unified point of automation, management, and policy enforcement for the entire ACI fabric. It translates policies into concrete configurations across the fabric.
