 In Cisco ACI fabric, when a Layer 2 unknown unicast packet is encountered, the fabric does not drop the packet. Instead, it uses a flooding mechanism to ensure that the packet reaches its potential destination. This is achieved by utilizing the VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) Outer Multicast Group ID associated with the Bridge Domain (BD) to which the unknown destination MAC address belongs. By doing so, Cisco ACI ensures that all endpoints within the BD have an opportunity to receive and process the packet if they are indeed the intended recipient. References: Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Official Cert Guide

In Cisco ACI, Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances are used to create separate routing tables for network traffic management. An unenforced VRF does not apply policies or contracts for communication between endpoints, allowing free communication without the need for explicit permissions. By implementing an unenforced VRF in the common tenant and mapping all required Bridge Domains (BDs) to it, each department’s BDs can communicate with one another without configuring contracts or VRF route leaking, thus meeting the company’s requirement for redesigning their networking architecture. References: Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Official Cert Guide

Before associating a schema with a newly configured site in Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator, it’s essential to configure a provider. This establishes a communication link between the orchestrator and the sites, enabling proper deployment and management of objects across multiple sites.

Removing pre-existing Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) configurations from Nexus devices is necessary to ensure compatibility with Cisco ACI mode. FCoE configurations are not supported in ACI mode, and their presence can hinder the migration process2.
