Refer to the exhibit. The configured bridge domain with name "Prod-BD" rn tenant Prod is not functioning properly Which option describes a possible reason for that failure?

Question

Options

• AThe context "Prod-vrf" does not exist m the fabric.
• BThe "missing-target" state field indicates that there are not leaves with endpoint in the bridge domain, so it is not configured anywhere.
• CSomeone has deleted the monitoring object "monepg default".
• DThe tenant "Prod" has been deleted.

• B

Explanation

In Cisco ACI, a Bridge Domain (BD) must be associated with a VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding instance, called a "context" in ACI) to function - without a valid VRF binding, the BD has no routing context and cannot pass traffic, making A correct: if "Prod-vrf" doesn't exist in the fabric, the BD has no valid context association and will fail.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because "missing-target" (or similar operational state flags) indicates the BD hasn't been deployed to any leaf yet, but this is a consequence of the VRF issue, not the root cause of the BD failing to function.
• C is incorrect because the monitoring policy (monepg default) is an observability object - deleting it affects telemetry/monitoring, not the forwarding behavior of the BD itself.
• D is incorrect because if the tenant "Prod" were deleted, the BD object itself would also cease to exist and wouldn't appear in any exhibit at all.

Memory tip: Think of a BD as a room that needs a building (VRF/context) to exist in - no building, no room. Always verify the VRF exists and is properly associated when a BD shows operational failure in ACI.
