350-601 Network Practice Question
An engineer is deploying an ACI fabric with VMM integration for VMware vSphere. Which THREE components must be configured to enable dynamic EPG assignment based on VM attributes? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that the APIC cluster IP (Option A) is required for VMM integration, but it is only needed for initial fabric discovery; the VMM domain, vCenter credentials, and port group mapping are the three mandatory components for dynamic EPG assignment.

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
✓
VMM domain
The VMM domain (Option B) is the core integration object that defines the VMware vCenter connection and policy enforcement boundary. It must be configured to enable the APIC to discover VMs and their attributes, which is the prerequisite for dynamic EPG assignment based on VM properties such as VM name, OS type, or custom tags.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
APIC cluster IP
Why it's wrong here
APIC is the controller, not part of dynamic EPG assignment.
- ✓
VMM domain
Why this is correct
Defines the integration with vCenter.
- ✓
vCenter credentials
Why this is correct
Required for APIC to communicate with vCenter.
- ✓
Port group mapping to EPG
Why this is correct
Maps VMware port groups to ACI EPGs.
- ✗
L3Out configuration
Why it's wrong here
L3Out is for external connectivity, not VM integration.
