350-601 Question #597: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: Contract scope: Global. In Cisco ACI, Endpoint Groups (EPGs) within different VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) require Layer 3 inter-VRF communication, which is controlled by contracts. The contract scope determines where the contract is valid: - Global scope is required when communication is neede
Question
A network engineer must configure two endpoint groups in a Cisco ACI tenant for the EPGs to communicate. Each EPG must be in a different VRF. Which configuration must be used within the contract to accomplish these goals?
Options
- AContract scope: Global
- BContract scope: Global
- CContract scope: Tenant
- DContract scope: Tenant
Explanation
In Cisco ACI, Endpoint Groups (EPGs) within different VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) require Layer 3 inter-VRF communication, which is controlled by contracts. The contract scope determines where the contract is valid: - Global scope is required when communication is needed between EPGs in different VRFs because the contract must be available across VRF boundaries. - Application ports should be set in the filter, as filters define permitted protocols and ports to allow communication between the EPGs. By setting the contract scope to Global, the contract applies across multiple VRFs within the tenant, enabling EPG-to-EPG communication across VRFs.
