Explanation

To allow SNMP communications, you must configure an "out-of-band (OOB) contract" in the to allow SNMP traffic. SNMP traffic typically uses UDP port 161 for SNMP requests. 2. Configure the APIC OOB IP addresses in the "mgmt" tenant. Although the OOB addresses are during APIC setup, the addresses must be explicitly configured in the "mgmt" tenant before the contract will take effect. ACI provides SNMPv1, v2, and v3 support, including Management Information Bases (MIBs) and notifications (traps). The SNMP standard allows any third-party applications that support the different MIBs to manage and monitor the ACI fabric. centric-infrastructure/aci-guide-configuring-snmp.pdf
