Cisco 300-620 Exam - Topic 2 Question 87 Discussion

A customer is deploying a new application across two ACI pods that is sensitive to latency and jitter. The application sets the DSCP values of packets to AF31 and CS6, respectively. Which configuration changes must be made on the APIC to support the new application and prevent packets from being delayed or dropped between pods?
C) align the ACI QoS levels and IPN QoS policies
A) disable DSCP mapping on the IPN devices
B) disable DSCP translation policy
D) align the custom QoS policy on the EPG site in the customer tenant

[All 300-620 Questions]

A customer is deploying a new application across two ACI pods that is sensitive to latency and jitter. The application sets the DSCP values of packets to AF31 and CS6, respectively. Which configuration changes must be made on the APIC to support the new application and prevent packets from being delayed or dropped between pods?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

This will ensure that the Quality of Service (QoS) levels and policies within the ACI fabric and the IPN devices match, preventing packets from being delayed or dropped between pods. Additionally, it is important to align the DSCP values of the packets with the configured QoS levels to ensure that the application's requirements for latency and jitter are met.

This seems straightforward. We just need to make sure the custom QoS policy on the EPG site in the customer tenant is configured correctly to support the DSCP values.

The key here is making sure the DSCP values are mapped correctly between the ACI pods and the IPN devices. I'll focus on that and the QoS alignment.

I'd have to go with C as well. Synchronizing the QoS configurations across the ACI and IPN layers is the key to supporting this latency-sensitive application. Gotta keep those packets flowing smoothly!
