Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure: Updating APIC Configuration for New ESXi Hosts

Updating APIC Configuration for New ESXi Hosts

Question

New ESXi hosts are procured in a data center compute expansion project.

An engineer must update the configuration on the Cisco APIC controllers to support the addition of the new servers to the existing VMM domain.

To support the addition of new servers to the existing VMM domain in a Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) environment, an engineer must update the configuration on the Cisco APIC controllers.

Option A: Creating a range of internal VLANs in the associated VLAN pool is not relevant to adding new servers to the VMM domain.

Option B: Setting the encapsulation mode as VXLAN is a global setting and not relevant to adding new servers to the VMM domain.

Option C: Enabling infrastructure VLAN in the associated AEP (Attachable Entity Profile) is not relevant to adding new servers to the VMM domain.

Option D: Mapping the leaf interface selector to the AEP that is associated with the VMM domain is the correct action to support this change. This action ensures that the leaf interfaces that are connected to the new ESXi hosts are associated with the correct AEP that is associated with the VMM domain. By doing so, the APIC controllers will be able to recognize the new ESXi hosts and add them to the existing VMM domain.

In summary, to support the addition of new servers to the existing VMM domain in a Cisco ACI environment, an engineer should map the leaf interface selector to the AEP that is associated with the VMM domain.
