The COOP (Council Of Oracle Protocol) database is located on each spine switch within the Cisco ACI fabric. The COOP database is responsible for maintaining a consistent copy of endpoint address and location information across the fabric

 In the Cisco ACI VMM domain configuration, to generate port groups with names formatted as “Tenant=Application=EPG”, the configuration option used is delimiter. The delimiter is a character that separates the elements of the port-group name. By changing the delimiter setting to “=”, the port-group names will be generated with the desired format.

To migrate the gateway address out of the ACI fabric for an endpoint group (EPG), the bridge domain configuration must ensure that routing is contained within the ACI fabric and that ARP requests are managed efficiently. The correct configuration set is:

L2 Unknown Unicast: Set to Hardware Proxy. This setting allows the ACI fabric to use the spine proxy function to handle unknown unicast traffic, which helps to reduce flooding within the fabric.

Unicast Routing: Set to Disabled. Since the gateway is being migrated out of the ACI fabric, unicast routing should be disabled to prevent the ACI fabric from attempting to route traffic for the EPG.

ARP Flooding: Set to Enabled. This allows ARP requests to be flooded within the bridge domain, which is necessary when the unicast routing is disabled, to ensure that ARP requests can still be resolved.

In a Cisco ACI configuration with IEEE 802.1p ports, the traffic exits from the EPG untagged from leaf ports. This means that when the port is configured in Access (802.1p) mode and the access VLAN is the only VLAN deployed on the port, then traffic will be untagged on egress56.
