ACI Fabric Geolocation Policies

BD.

Geolocation policies in the ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) Fabric are used to associate geographic locations with networking devices, and they allow for more granular control of policies based on the physical location of devices. The two statements that are true regarding geolocation policies in the ACI Fabric are:

B. Creating a geolocation policy involves creating a site, building, floor, room, and row. Geolocation policies in ACI require a hierarchical structure of geographic locations. The structure starts with a site, which represents a physical location such as a data center or a remote office. Within a site, there can be multiple buildings, floors, rooms, and rows. The hierarchical structure of geolocation policies allows for more granular control over policies based on the physical location of devices.

C. Geolocation policies are configured under Fabric > Access Policies. In ACI, geolocation policies are configured under the "Access Policies" section of the Fabric menu. This menu is used to configure policies related to the access layer of the network, including policies related to VLANs, virtual port channels (vPCs), and virtual switch interface groups (VSGs). Geolocation policies are used to associate geographic locations with network devices, allowing for more granular control over policies based on the physical location of devices.

The other statements are not true regarding geolocation policies in the ACI Fabric:

A. Geolocation policies are dynamically configured in ACI using the site address field in the spine and leaf Type-Length Vector frames exchanged during the initial LLDP process. Geolocation policies in ACI are not dynamically configured using the site address field in the spine and leaf Type-Length Vector frames exchanged during the initial LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) process. Geolocation policies require manual configuration.

D. Geolocation is performed by associating a geographic location with an IP address. Geolocation in ACI is not performed by associating a geographic location with an IP address. Geolocation policies are used to associate geographic locations with network devices, allowing for more granular control over policies based on the physical location of devices.

E. Geolocation is the identification of the real-world geographic location of a networking device. While geolocation policies in ACI are used to associate real-world geographic locations with networking devices, geolocation is not the identification of the real-world geographic location of a networking device. Geolocation is the process of determining the geographic location of a device based on its IP address or other identifying information.
