QUESTION 1
A vPC Type-1 inconsistency between two vPC peers in a VXLAN EVPN setup is discovered. Which two actions need to be attempted to resolve the issue? (Choose two.)
A. Configure the NVE interfaces to be Up on both switches.
B. Set a different distributed gateway virtual MAC address.
C. Set a different secondary IP addresses on NVE source-interface.
D. Configure the same VNI to multicast group maping.
E. Set a different primary IP addresses on NVE source-interface.
Correct Answer: AD
QUESTION 2
A mission-critical server is connected to site A. Connectivity to this server is lost from site B because the MAC
route is missing in the OTV VDC of the Cisco Nexus 7000 in site B due to MAC aging. Which action allows the
flooding of the unknown unicast MAC on the Nexus 7000 in the OTV VDC?
A. Use route map to statically advertise this MAC and redistribute with IS-IS.
B. Unknown unicast flooding is not allowed.
C. Use the otv flood mac <> command to selectively flood traffic for a given MAC.
D. Use the otv isis bfd <> command to configure BFD protocol.
Correct Answer: B
QUESTION 3
An engineer troubleshoots a fabric discovery failure. Which two requirements about switch connectivity must be verified to solve the problem? (Choose two.)
A. A Cisco APIC must be attached to a spine node only.
B. A Cisco APIC must be attached to leaf nodes.
C. Spine nodes must connect to other spine nodes.
D. A Cisco APIC must be dual-attached to two separate spine nodes.
E. Leaf nodes must connect to spine nodes only.
Correct Answer: BE
QUESTION 4
A customer configures HSRP between two data centers that are interconnected with OTV. The configuration
succeeds, but traffic between two ESXi virtual hosts on the same site is routed suboptimally through the OTV
overlay. Which two actions optimize the traffic? (Choose two.)
A. Disable first-hop redundancy.
B. Filter HSRP traffic by using a Layer 3 VACL on the OTV edge devices.
C. Filter HSRP by using a Layer 2 MAC list on the ESXi vSwitch.
D. Filter HSRP traffic by using a Layer 3 VACL on the ESXi vSwitch.
E. Filter HSRP by using a Layer 2 MAC list on the OTV edge devices.
Correct Answer: AB
QUESTION 5
An engineer removes a VMM domain from an endpoint group called “EPG-1”, but the distributed port group fails to be deleted. Which action resolves the issue?
A. Manually remove the port group.
B. Migrate all virtual machines in the EPG-1 to different hypervisors.
