An engineer must configure Cisco ACI for VMM integration to VMware vCenter. Which two attributes must be configured on the Cisco APIC to achieve this goal? (Choose two.)

While vCenter manages clusters of ESXi hosts, the 'cluster name' itself is not a direct attribute configured on the APIC for VMM integration; rather, the APIC interacts with the vCenter instance that manages the clusters.

To establish a VMM domain in Cisco ACI for VMware vCenter, the APIC requires the virtual switch name (either vDS or standard switch) to identify the specific virtual switch instance that will be managed. This configuration allows ACI to push network policies, such as EPGs and their associated VLANs, to the designated virtual switch in vCenter.

The 'data center name' is an organizational construct within vCenter, but the APIC directly integrates with vCenter at a level that references virtual switches and credentials, not the data center name itself as a required APIC configuration attribute.

While port groups are created by ACI on the virtual switch within vCenter, 'port group' is an outcome of the integration and policy application, not an attribute configured on the APIC itself to establish the initial VMM integration.

For Cisco APIC to securely communicate with and manage resources in VMware vCenter, it is necessary to provide valid logon credentials (username and password) for the vCenter server. These credentials grant the APIC the required permissions to perform operations like creating port groups and configuring network policies on the virtual switches.
