Cisco 300-620 Exam - Topic 4 Question 97 Discussion

An engineer configures port-12 on Leaf-101 and Leaf-102 to connect to a new server, SVR-12. The new server will belong to EPG-12 and use encap VLAN-1212. The engineer configured SVR-12 as a VPC member port and statically bound the VPC member port to EPG-12. Which additional step must the engineer take to configure connectivity?
B) Associate a domain with EPG-12 that is associated with VLAN-1212.
A) Create a VPC Explicit Protection Group for EPG-12 and VLAN-1212.
C) Select VLAN-1212 on the EPG-12 Interface Policy Group.
D) Configure an LACP Interface Policy and apply it to EPG-12.

An engineer configures port-12 on Leaf-101 and Leaf-102 to connect to a new server, SVR-12. The new server will belong to EPG-12 and use encap VLAN-1212. The engineer configured SVR-12 as a VPC member port and statically bound the VPC member port to EPG-12. Which additional step must the engineer take to configure connectivity?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The engineer configures port 1/2 on Leaf-101 and Leaf-102 to connect to a new server (SVR-12), which belongs to EPG-12 using VLAN-1212 encapsulation. The server is configured as a vPC member port and statically bound to EPG-12. The task is to ensure connectivity, indicating a missing configuration step.

Requirement Analysis

Static binding of a vPC member port to an EPG requires proper VLAN association and domain mapping.

vPC ensures redundancy, and the VLAN (1212) must be allocated and associated with the EPG via a domain (e.g., VMM or physical domain).

Option Evaluation

A . Create a VPC Explicit Protection Group for EPG-12 and VLAN-1212:

vPC Explicit Protection Groups are used for specific vPC configurations, but this is not a standard requirement for EPG binding and VLAN association.


B . Associate a domain with EPG-12 that is associated with VLAN-1212:

Associating a domain (e.g., VMM or physical domain) with EPG-12 and mapping VLAN-1212 ensures the VLAN is allocated and recognized by the fabric for the vPC ports. This is a critical step for static binding to work.

C . Select VLAN-1212 on the EPG-12 Interface Policy Group:

The Interface Policy Group defines port settings, but VLAN selection is managed via the domain association, not the policy group alone. This is insufficient.

D . Configure an LACP Interface Policy and apply it to EPG-12:

LACP is optional for vPC and not required for static EPG binding. The issue is VLAN/domain association, not link aggregation.

Final Answer Justification

B is correct because associating a domain with EPG-12 and VLAN-1212 ensures the fabric recognizes the VLAN encapsulation and applies the EPG configuration to the vPC ports.

I think we had a practice question similar to this, and I chose to configure the interface policy group. It feels like that might be relevant here too.

I remember we discussed something about associating VLANs with EPGs in class, but I'm not sure if it's specifically about the domain.

This looks straightforward to me. The server is already statically bound to EPG-12, so the only thing left is to make sure the EPG-12 is properly associated with the right VLAN domain. Option B seems like the correct choice.

Based on the information provided, I think the answer is B. Associating a domain with EPG-12 that is linked to VLAN-1212 seems like the logical next step to ensure the connectivity is properly configured.

I'm a bit confused by the VPC member port configuration. Does that mean I need to do something specific with the VPC setup? I'll need to double-check the ACI documentation on that.

Okay, let's see here. The question mentions configuring a new server, SVR-12, and associating it with EPG-12 and VLAN-1212. I think the key is to make sure the EPG-12 is properly set up and associated with the right domain.

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher. I bet the engineer's like, 'Wait, which button do I press again?' Maybe they need to consult the engineer's handbook - it's gotta be in there somewhere!

You guys are overthinking this. The answer is clearly D. Configure an LACP Interface Policy and apply it to EPG-12. That's the way to get the connectivity working, no doubt about it.
