QuestionQ46

External Network Connectivity

A network engineer deploys an L3Out within the Cisco ACI fabric. The engineer intends to connect a Cisco ACI leaf switch to a switch external to the Cisco ACI fabric and exchange routes by using a routing protocol. The external switch interface has IP address 192.168.15.1/30.

The ACI engineer wants to use a routing protocol that follows a hierarchical network design. The Cisco ACI fabric must use the L3Out to access the Internet. Which set of steps must be performed to satisfy these requirements?

Explanation

OSPF uses a hierarchical, area-based routing design, with area 0 as the backbone. An ACI OSPF L3Out is configured with an OSPF area, a routed outside object with logical node and routed interface profiles, and an external network classification. The 0.0.0.0/0 external subnet represents all IPv4 destinations, enabling the L3Out to classify Internet-bound traffic.
