300-170 · Question #92
Refer to Exhibit. In which bridge domain does enabling hardware proxy have the greatest benefit?
The correct answer is D. BD4. Enabling hardware proxy in Cisco ACI offloads ARP and unknown unicast flooding from the APIC to the hardware, reducing CPU load and improving performance.

Why each option
Enabling hardware proxy in Cisco ACI offloads ARP and unknown unicast flooding from the APIC to the hardware, reducing CPU load and improving performance.
BD1 would not receive the greatest benefit unless it had the largest number of endpoints or highest unknown traffic rate, which is not indicated by the problem description.
BD2 would not receive the greatest benefit unless it had the largest number of endpoints or highest unknown traffic rate, which is not indicated by the problem description.
BD3 would not receive the greatest benefit unless it had the largest number of endpoints or highest unknown traffic rate, which is not indicated by the problem description.
Enabling hardware proxy is most beneficial in bridge domains with a large number of endpoints, as it offloads ARP and unknown unicast flooding from the APIC to the hardware, thereby reducing CPU utilization and improving forwarding efficiency for BD4, which is implied to have many endpoints.
