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

 In Cisco ACI fabric, STP BPDUs are flooded in the bridge domain VLAN. This allows the BPDUs to be propagated throughout the fabric, maintaining the STP topology2.

 In Cisco ACI fabric, when a Layer 2 unknown unicast packet is encountered, the fabric does not drop the packet. Instead, it uses a flooding mechanism to ensure that the packet reaches its potential destination. This is achieved by utilizing the VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) Outer Multicast Group ID associated with the Bridge Domain (BD) to which the unknown destination MAC address belongs. By doing so, Cisco ACI ensures that all endpoints within the BD have an opportunity to receive and process the packet if they are indeed the intended recipient. References: Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Official Cert Guide

An application-centric design in Cisco ACI focuses on the application requirements and interactions between different application components. In this design, EPGs (Endpoint Groups) represent different application tiers, such as web, application, and database tiers. This approach allows for a more flexible and scalable network configuration that aligns with the application architecture, enabling policies to be applied based on the application’s needs rather than the network topology. References := Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Official Cert Guide
