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…
The correct answer is B. A single APIC Cluster is required in a Multi-Pod design. It is important to place the APIC C. ACI Multi-Pod requires an IP Network supporting PIM-Bidir. Multipod is with only a single APIC cluster - multisite requires multiple clusters. The entire network hence runs as a single large fabric from an operational perspective; however, ACI Multi-Pod introduces specific enhancements to isolate as much as possible the failure domains…
Question
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.)
Options
- AACI underlay protocols, i.e. COOP, IS-IS and MP-BGP, spans across pods. Create QoS policies
- BA single APIC Cluster is required in a Multi-Pod design. It is important to place the APIC
- CACI Multi-Pod requires an IP Network supporting PIM-Bidir.
- DACI Multi-Pod does not support Firewall Clusters across Pods. Firewall Clusters should always be
- EMulti-Pod requires multiple APIC Controller Clusters, one per pod. Make sure those clusters can

Explanation
Multipod is with only a single APIC cluster - multisite requires multiple clusters. The entire network hence runs as a single large fabric from an operational perspective; however, ACI Multi-Pod introduces specific enhancements to isolate as much as possible the failure domains between Pods, contributing to increase the overall design resiliency. This is achieved by running separate instances of fabric control planes (IS-IS, COOP, MP-BGP) across Pods. infrastructure/white-paper-c11-737855.html
