Which two policies can be set within the vswitch policies of an Attachable Access Entity Profile on 1.0? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. PortChannel Policy E. VLAN Policy. In Cisco ACI, the vSwitch policies section within an Attachable Access Entity Profile (AEP) specifically allows configuration of a PortChannel Policy (A), which controls how virtual port channels are formed to hypervisor hosts, and a VLAN Policy (E), which defines the VLAN pool…

Explanation
In Cisco ACI, the vSwitch policies section within an Attachable Access Entity Profile (AEP) specifically allows configuration of a PortChannel Policy (A), which controls how virtual port channels are formed to hypervisor hosts, and a VLAN Policy (E), which defines the VLAN pool associated with the AEP to determine which VLANs are available for endpoint connectivity. These two policies directly govern how the virtual switch interacts with the fabric at the access layer.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- CDP Policy (C) and LACP Policy (D) are configured at the interface policy level (under Link-Level or Port Channel interface policies), not within the AEP vSwitch policies section.
- Monitoring Policy (B) is a separate policy type applied at tenant, fabric, or infra scopes - it has no placement in AEP vSwitch policy configuration.
Memory tip: Think "Port channels Visibly connect switches" - Port Channel and VLAN are the two vSwitch policies in an AEP. The others (CDP, LACP, Monitoring) belong to interface or fabric policy groups, one level "below" the AEP in the policy hierarchy.
