Network Design

A network engineer needs to perform a VMM integration between the VMware vCenter platform and the Cisco ACI Fabric. The vCenter is already installed on one of the rack servers connected to ACI leaf switches in vPC mode. Which type of management network must be used to integrate vCenter with ACI?

  • A in-band management
  • B APIC infra
  • C out-of-band management
  • D VLAN infra
Explanation

In-band management is used when APIC reaches VMware vCenter through the ACI fabric. A vCenter hosted on a rack server attached to ACI leaf switches through a vPC uses this fabric-based path; out-of-band management instead uses dedicated management connectivity. Cisco documents that VMMs, including VMware vCenter, must be reachable through the in-band or out-of-band management network.
