Refer to the exhibit. A tenant is configured with a single L3Out and a single-homed link to the core router called Core-1. An engineer must add a second link to the L3Out that connects to the Core-2…
The correct answer is C. Add a second path to the logical interface profile of the existing L3Out. To add a second physical link from an existing L3Out to a different external router, you must add a new path to the L3Out's logical interface profile.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. A tenant is configured with a single L3Out and a single-homed link to the core router called Core-1. An engineer must add a second link to the L3Out that connects to the Core-2 router. Which action allows traffic from Core-2 to BL-1002 to have the same connectivity as the traffic from Core-1 to BL-1001?
Exhibit
Options
- AAdd a second OSPF interface profile to the logical interface profile.
- BAdd a second interface to the external domain to the existing L3Out.
- CAdd a second path to the logical interface profile of the existing L3Out.
- DAdd a second subnet to the external EPG to the existing L3Out.

Why each option
To add a second physical link from an existing L3Out to a different external router, you must add a new path to the L3Out's logical interface profile.
Adding a second OSPF interface profile (if OSPF is used) is a protocol configuration step, but the fundamental action for physical connectivity is defining the path itself.
Adding an 'interface to the external domain' is not the precise ACI terminology; the correct approach involves adding a 'path' to an existing logical interface profile.
In Cisco ACI, an L3Out defines the fabric's connection to an external routing domain. To introduce a second physical link to a different core router (Core-2) for an existing L3Out, a new path must be added to the logical interface profile within that L3Out. This path specifies the new physical interface on the leaf switch, its encapsulation, and other link-specific details, effectively extending the L3Out's physical connectivity.
Adding a second subnet to the external EPG is used for advertising or consuming additional IP address prefixes, not for establishing the underlying physical link of the L3Out.
