In Cisco ACI, Layer 4-Layer 7 service devices can be integrated into the fabric to provide various services such as load balancing, firewalls, and application delivery controllers. When peering with a service device, there are certain parameters that need to be configured to ensure proper communication and routing.

The two parameters needed to do route peering with a Layer 4-Layer 7 service device in Cisco ACI are:

A. A valid router configuration must be set under the service graph template: When configuring the service graph template, a valid router configuration needs to be set to enable routing between the fabric and the service device. This router configuration includes parameters such as the router ID, OSPF area ID, and BGP configuration. These parameters enable communication between the ACI fabric and the Layer 4-Layer 7 service device.

D. A router ID must be assigned under the Layer 4-Layer 7 device: A router ID needs to be assigned to the Layer 4-Layer 7 service device to enable proper routing. The router ID is used to identify the device in the network and facilitate communication between the ACI fabric and the service device. This ID is unique and is used by routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP to identify the device.

Therefore, options A and D are the correct answers. The other options are not related to route peering with a Layer 4-Layer 7 service device. Option B is related to Layer 2 peering, which is not used for route peering. Option C and E are related to path selection and L3 Out configuration, which are not directly related to route peering.
