Which table is stored on the spine switches of an ACI fabric?
Global station table.
Tenant station table.
Proxy station table.
Local station table.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
Although the size of the local station table is limited, the total amount of endpoints supported by the whole ACI fabric can be much larger than the size of the local station table. All the endpoints learned on the non-fabric uplinks are stored in the local station table. All the endpoints learned on the fabric uplink ports are kept in the global station table.

Which two tables are stored on the leaf switch of an ACI fabric? (Choose two.)
proxy station table
local station table
tenant station table
global station table
Correct answer: BD
Explanation:
When the ingress leaf switch receives the frame, it learns the source MAC and source IP and programs them into the local station table. The leaf switch derives the source EPG based on the VLAN ID or VXLAN VNID. The MAC and IP addresses in the local station table also contain the EPG information and they can be used to derive EPG information for the subsequent packets. When a leaf switch receives a frame from the host it needs to determine whether the destination IP is inside the fabric or outside the fabric. If the destination IP matches with any /32 host route entry in the global station table, it means the destination is an endpoint inside the fabric and the leave switch already learned the endpoint.

Which aspect of an endpoint group contract is optional?
Action
Subject
filter
label
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
Labels, which are used optionally to group objects such as subjects and EPGs for the purpose of further defining policy enforcement Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/application-centric-infrastructure/white-paper-c11-731310.html
