A. B. C. D. E.BD.
The Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a data center networking solution that simplifies the management of physical and virtual networks. It uses a policy-based approach to automate provisioning and management of network infrastructure, security policies, and services.
To provide the foundation for Cisco ACI, two switches are used, which are:
B. Cisco Nexus 9508 switch: It is a high-performance, modular switch that provides high-density 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports. It is designed for data center aggregation and core layers, and provides high scalability and performance.
C. Cisco Nexus 7710 switch: It is also a modular switch that provides high-density 10/40 GE and FCoE ports. It is designed for data center aggregation and core layers, and provides high availability and redundancy.
Therefore, options B and C are the correct answers to this question.
Option A ( Cisco Nexus 7718 switch) is not a valid option as there is no such switch available.
Option D ( Cisco Nexus 93128TX switch) and option E ( Cisco Nexus 6004 switch) are not correct as they are not part of the Cisco ACI foundation switches. The Nexus 93128TX switch is designed for top-of-rack access and aggregation, while the Nexus 6004 switch is designed for low-latency, high-performance data center environments.
