The correct answer is B. Add S1, S2, S3, under DNS_EPG.. To enable communication between endpoints S1, S2, and S3 without contracts in Cisco ACI, all three endpoints must be placed within the same Endpoint Group (EPG).

ACI Fabric Infrastructure

Question

A Cisco ACI fabric has three different endpoints S1, S2, and S3. These endpoints must communicate with each other without contracts. These objects have been created in APIC:

  • Two EPGs named DNS_EPG and Database_EPG
  • Two application profiles. PROD_App and Data_App
  • Two bridge domains DNS_BD and Database_BD
  • PROD_APP and Database_BD mapped to Tenant PROD
  • Data_App and DNS_BD mapped to Tenant Data

Which set of actions completes the fabric configuration?

Options

  • AAdd S1, S2, S3 under Database_EPG.
  • BAdd S1, S2, S3, under DNS_EPG.
  • CAdd S1, S2, S3 under DNS_EPG.
  • DAdd S1, S2, S3 under Database_EPG.

Why each option

To enable communication between endpoints S1, S2, and S3 without contracts in Cisco ACI, all three endpoints must be placed within the same Endpoint Group (EPG).

AAdd S1, S2, S3 under Database_EPG.

While adding them to Database_EPG would also allow them to communicate without contracts, the option 'Add S1, S2, S3 under DNS_EPG' (B) achieves the same goal as per the problem statement.

BAdd S1, S2, S3, under DNS_EPG.Correct

In Cisco ACI, endpoints belonging to the same Endpoint Group (EPG) are implicitly allowed to communicate with each other without requiring explicit contracts. By adding S1, S2, and S3 to the DNS_EPG, they will all reside within the same EPG and thus can communicate freely.

CAdd S1, S2, S3 under DNS_EPG.

This choice is textually identical to B, which is a correct action for allowing contract-less communication between the endpoints.

DAdd S1, S2, S3 under Database_EPG.

While adding them to Database_EPG would also allow them to communicate without contracts, the option 'Add S1, S2, S3 under DNS_EPG' (B) achieves the same goal as per the problem statement.
