Components of an ACI MIT Managed Object

BD.

In the context of Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Managed Object Model, the following two components are attributes of an ACI MIT managed object:

1. RN (Relative Name): It is a unique identifier for the managed object within its parent scope. RN is appended to the DN to form a complete path that identifies the managed object in the ACI fabric. For example, if a managed object's DN is uni/tn-TestTenant/ap-TestApp/epg-Web, its RN is "epg-Web". The RN can be used to reference the managed object in configuration and policy operations.

2. DN (Distinguished Name): It is a hierarchical identifier that uniquely identifies the managed object in the ACI fabric. The DN contains a sequence of relative names (RN) separated by slashes (/), starting from the root of the ACI object tree. For example, the DN for the same managed object mentioned above is "uni/tn-TestTenant/ap-TestApp/epg-Web". The DN identifies the absolute path of the managed object within the ACI fabric and is used in configuration and policy operations.

The other options listed in the question are not attributes of an ACI MIT managed object:

• MO (Managed Object) is the basic unit of ACI configuration and policy, representing a specific entity or resource in the fabric, such as a tenant, application profile, endpoint group, contract, or policy.
• UNI (Unified Network Interface) is a type of interface on a switch or endpoint that connects to a fabric port in ACI, allowing it to exchange traffic with the ACI fabric.
• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a standardized format for specifying the location of a resource on the internet, typically used in web-based applications and services.
