This 350-601 practice question tests your understanding of 350-601 exam topics. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
In Cisco ACI, when integrating with VMware vSphere via VMM domain, what is the purpose of the 'vCenter Domain' policy?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
To automatically configure virtual switch port groups and EPGs based on VM attributes
The VMM domain policy in ACI connects to vCenter and allows ACI to automatically deploy EPGs and port groups on the vDS. It also enables policy-driven networking for VMs. The policy does not provide vMotion directly (vMotion is handled by vSphere) and does not replace VXLAN or manage storage.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
To replace the need for VXLAN overlay in the fabric
Why it's wrong here
ACI uses VXLAN; VMM domain does not replace it.
✓
To automatically configure virtual switch port groups and EPGs based on VM attributes
Why this is correct
VMM domain automates network provisioning for VMs.

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
To manage storage connectivity for VMware clusters
Why it's wrong here
Storage connectivity is separate.
✗
To enable virtual machine mobility (vMotion) across data centers
Why it's wrong here
vMotion is a vSphere feature; ACI VMM domain supports it but doesn't enable it.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the 350-601 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
