n. 10. Dynamic policies as per the requirement. 11. Simplifying the overall network. 12. Network deployment automation. APIC EM deployment can be Single host deployment or Multi Host deployment: Single Host: Virtual IP will not be configured in this case. All ingress requests into controller APIC EM will be through host IP. Deployment model can be changed from single host to multi host in future. Multi Host: Virtual IP will be configured and this IP will be the cluster IP of the controller (APIC EM Cluster) and all inbound requests into controller will not be through the host IP, this will be rather through the virtual IP. APIC EM Support for Northbound and Southbound Application Programming Interfaces: The REST based Northbound APIs can be used to control and manage the network through HTTPS with HTTPs methods (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE). This also ensures secure and programmatic control over the network.

APIC-EM APPLICATIONS Plug-and-Play (PnP): The APIC-EM Controller's PnP (Plug and Play) application delivers on ZTD (Zero Touch Deployment) for Cisco Enterprise Network routers, switches and wireless controllers. Easy QoS: The APIC-EM Controller's Easy Quality of Service application provides a simple way to classify and assign application priority. Intelligent WAN (IWAN) Application: The APIC-EM Controller's Intelligent WAN (IWAN) application automates the configuration of advanced IWAN features on Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Service Routers. PATH TRACE The APIC-EM Controller's Path Visualization application greatly eases and accelerates the task of connection troubleshooting. Plug-and-Play (PnP) To deploy 200 new Cisco devices including routers, switches, access points etc., every Cisco device needs to be configured with a base configuration & the software needs to b
