300-630 Exam Dumps : Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure - Advanced (DCACIA)

The minimum MTU value that must be supported by the ISN to allow control plane endpoint information exchange between sites in a Cisco ACI Multi-Site setup with default settings is 1554 bytes (B). This accounts for the standard MTU of 1500 bytes plus additional overhead for VXLAN encapsulation. An MTU of 9000 (A) or 9100 © is not the minimum required, and 1600 (D) is not related to the default fabric settings5. References := (Multi-site / Multi-Pod MTU Jumbo Frames5)

To support an application that is sensitive to latency and jitter, it is crucial to ensure that the Quality of Service (QoS) levels within the ACI fabric and the Inter-Pod Network (IPN) QoS policies are aligned. This alignment will help in maintaining consistent handling of the DSCP values set by the application (AF31 and CS6) as the packets traverse across the two ACI pods. By aligning the QoS levels and policies, the application’s packets are less likely to experience delays or drops, thus preserving the required performance levels for the application’s optimal functionality.

In Cisco ACI, Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances are used to create separate routing tables for network traffic management. An unenforced VRF does not apply policies or contracts for communication between endpoints, allowing free communication without the need for explicit permissions. By implementing an unenforced VRF in the common tenant and mapping all required Bridge Domains (BDs) to it, each department’s BDs can communicate with one another without configuring contracts or VRF route leaking, thus meeting the company’s requirement for redesigning their networking architecture. References: Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Official Cert Guide
