350-601 Security Practice Question
A network engineer is configuring micro-segmentation in an ACI fabric. Two EPGs, Web and App, must communicate via HTTPS only. Which type of contract should be applied between the EPGs?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Regular contract with a filter allowing HTTPS
ACI contracts use a whitelist model: a contract between EPGs explicitly permits desired traffic. A taboo contract would deny specific traffic, not permit.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Regular contract with a filter allowing HTTPS
Why this is correct
The regular contract with a filter for HTTPS permits the desired traffic.
- ✗
Taboo contract
Why it's wrong here
Taboo contracts deny traffic; they are not used to permit traffic.
- ✗
Intra-EPG contract
Why it's wrong here
Intra-EPG contracts are for traffic within the same EPG, not between different EPGs.
- ✗
Filter contract
Why it's wrong here
ACI does not have a filter contract; filters are part of contracts.
