ACI Management and Operations

Question

The company's Cisco ACI fabric hosts multiple customer tenants. To meet a service level agreement, the company is constantly monitoring the Cisco ACI environment. Syslog is one of the methods used for monitoring. Only events related to leaf and spine environmental information without specific customer data should be logged. To which ACI object must the configuration be applied to meet these requirements?

Options

  • Aaccess policy
  • Binfra tenant
  • Cswitch profile
  • Dfabric policy

Why each option

To configure syslog for leaf and spine environmental data without specific customer information in Cisco ACI, the configuration must be applied to a fabric policy.

Aaccess policy

Access policies define how endpoints connect to the fabric and are not the correct object for configuring system-wide logging of fabric component health.

Binfra tenant

While the `infra` tenant contains infrastructure-related configurations, the specific object for defining system-wide monitoring policies like syslog for fabric devices is typically found under Fabric Policies.

Cswitch profile

A switch profile groups policies specific to a type of switch (leaf or spine) for configuration, but the overall syslog policy that applies to all relevant fabric devices for environmental data is a higher-level fabric policy.

Dfabric policyCorrect

Fabric policies in Cisco ACI are global policies that apply to the entire fabric, including leaf and spine switches and the APICs. Configuring syslog policy under 'Fabric Policies' allows for centralized logging of events related to the fabric infrastructure, such as environmental information, without including tenant-specific data, thus meeting the specified requirements.
