Refer to the exhibit. A customer is deploying a WAN with these requirements: - Routers 1 and 2 must receive only routes 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 from the Cisco ACI fabric. - Reachability…
The correct answer is C. Configure the subnets 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as Advertised Externally. To advertise specific internal subnets from the ACI fabric to external WAN routers, these subnets must be configured for external advertisement.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. A customer is deploying a WAN with these requirements:
- Routers 1 and 2 must receive only routes 192.168.11.0/24 and
192.168.21.0/24 from the Cisco ACI fabric.
- Reachability to the WAN users must be permitted only for the servers
that are located in vrf_prod. Which settings must be configured to meet these objectives?

Why each option
To advertise specific internal subnets from the ACI fabric to external WAN routers, these subnets must be configured for external advertisement.
Configuring subnets as 'Private to VRF' means they are local to the VRF and will not be advertised externally from the fabric, directly contradicting the requirement for WAN routers to receive these routes.
Configuring subnets as 'Private to VRF' means they are local to the VRF and will not be advertised externally from the fabric, directly contradicting the requirement for WAN routers to receive these routes.
To export specific subnets from the Cisco ACI fabric to external WAN routers, such as 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24, these subnets within their respective Bridge Domains must be configured as 'Advertised Externally'. This setting explicitly directs ACI to inject these routes into the external routing protocol used for WAN connectivity, fulfilling the requirement for routers 1 and 2 to receive them and enabling reachability for servers in vrf_prod from the WAN.
This option is identical to C, which is the correct configuration setting for advertising subnets externally from the ACI fabric.
