Cisco 300-620 Question Answer
Refer to the exhibit.
A customer is deploying a WAN with these requirements: •Routers 1 and 2 must receive only routes 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0724 from the Cisco ACI fabric •Reachability to the WAN users must be permitted only for the servers that are located in vrf_prod.
Which settings must be configured to meet these objectives?
Configure the subnets 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as Private to VRF Configure the subnet 192.168.31.0/24 as Advertised Externally. Configure an EPG subnet 0.0.0.0/0 as External Subnets for External EPG.
Configure the subnets 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as Private to VRF. Configure the subnet 192.168.31.0/24 as Advertised Externally. Configure an EPG subnet 0.0.0.0/0 as Shared Route Control Subnet.
Configure the subnets 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as Advertised Externally.
Configure the subnet 192.168.31.0/24 as Private to VRF.
Configure an EPG subnet 0.0.0.0/0 as Shared Route Control Subnet.
Configure the subnets 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as Advertised Externally.
Configure the subnet 192.168.31.0/24 as Private to VRF.
Configure an EPG subnet 0.0.0.0/0 as External Subnets for External EPG.
The Answer Is:
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The scenario involves deploying a WAN with Cisco ACI, where Routers 1 and 2 (connected via an L3Out with OSPF Area 0) must receive specific routes (192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24) from the ACI fabric, and reachability to WAN users must be permitted only for servers in vrf_prod. The diagram shows three bridge domains (bd_vlan11, bd_vlan21, bd_vlan31) with their respective subnets and EPGs, all under vrf_prod, along with an L3Out (epg_l3out) for WAN connectivity.
Requirement Analysis
Routers 1 and 2 must receive only routes 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24:
These subnets belong to bd_vlan11 and bd_vlan21, respectively. To advertise these routes to Routers 1 and 2 via the L3Out, they must be marked with the appropriate scope in the bridge domain configuration.
In ACI, the "Advertised Externally" scope on a subnet ensures that it is advertised to external routers via the L3Out routing protocol (OSPF in this case).
Reachability to WAN users must be permitted only for servers in vrf_prod:
This implies that only the subnets in vrf_prod (192.168.11.0/24, 192.168.21.0/24, and 192.168.31.0/24) should be accessible, but WAN users should only reach specific subnets based on policy.
The external EPG (epg_l3out) represents the WAN users (10.171.0.0/16), and its subnet scope must control inbound reachability.
The subnet 192.168.31.0/24 (bd_vlan31) should not be advertised to the WAN, as it is not listed in the routes Routers 1 and 2 should receive.
Option Evaluation
A. Configure the subnets 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as Private to VRF. Configure the subnet 192.168.31.0/24 as Advertised Externally. Configure an EPG subnet 0.0.0.0/0 as External Subnets for External EPG:
Setting 192.168.11.0/24 and 192.168.21.0/24 as "Private to VRF" means they are not advertised externally, which fails the requirement for Routers 1 and 2 to receive these routes.
Setting 192.168.31.0/24 as "Advertised Externally" incorrectly advertises this subnet to the WAN, which is not desired.
The "External Subnets for External EPG" scope on 0.0.0.0/0 allows WAN users to reach all subnets in vrf_prod, which is correct for reachability.
Conclusion: Fails the first requirement (route advertisement).
