A Cisco ACI fabric contains 10 standalone leaf switches. An engineer must configure only the first two leaf switches in a VPC. Which VPC protection type must be configured to accomplish this goal?
The correct answer is B. explicit. To configure only specific leaf switches in a Cisco ACI VPC, the explicit VPC protection type must be used. This allows administrators to manually select which leaf nodes participate in a VPC domain.

Why each option
To configure only specific leaf switches in a Cisco ACI VPC, the explicit VPC protection type must be used. This allows administrators to manually select which leaf nodes participate in a VPC domain.
The 'serial' VPC protection type is not a standard or recognized VPC domain protection type in Cisco ACI.
The 'explicit' VPC protection type in Cisco ACI allows an administrator to manually specify which leaf switches are part of a VPC domain. This method is required when the goal is to include a specific, non-sequential set of leaf switches, such as only the first two out of ten available.
The 'reciprocal' VPC protection type is not a standard or recognized VPC domain protection type in Cisco ACI.
The 'consecutive' VPC protection type in Cisco ACI automatically pairs consecutive leaf switches into VPC domains, which does not allow for selective inclusion of only the first two leaves if others are present.
