An engineer is configuring ACI Multi-Pod between two data centers and must plan the physical cabling in the primary data center. How must the Cisco ACI Multi-Pod topology be connected?
The correct answer is C. Connect spine switch 201 and 202 in pod 1 to ports on a device that is providing IP connectivity. In a Cisco ACI Multi-Pod deployment, the spine switches within a pod should not be directly connected to the spine switches in another pod. Instead, they should be connected to an IPN (Inter- Pod Network) device that provides Layer 3 IP connectivity between the pods. This setup…

Explanation
In a Cisco ACI Multi-Pod deployment, the spine switches within a pod should not be directly connected to the spine switches in another pod. Instead, they should be connected to an IPN (Inter- Pod Network) device that provides Layer 3 IP connectivity between the pods. This setup allows for the extension of the ACI fabric across multiple locations while maintaining a single logical fabric. The IPN device can be a router or a switch with Layer 3 capabilities that can handle the necessary routing protocols and encapsulation methods required for Multi-Pod
