 AM Nova Southeastern University IP Address: 137.52.76.29 SDN Practical Orientation Graphical user Interface(GUI) Application Programming Interface(API) Command line Interface (CLI) Fundamental ACI Terminologies End Point Groups: Container for application end points that allow the separation of policy, forwarding & security not based upon the vlan or subnets but based upon the grouping of the application endpoints instead. Bridge Domain: Layer 2 container within the ACI fabric, Bridge domain may contain multiple subnets unlike vlan. VRF: Private network or a Routing Instance. Tenant: Logical Container for different organizations, security Space, Departments or as per the Infrastructure Isolation requirements. Contracts: Stateless firewall policies that defines the inbound & outbound permit & deny rules. Contracts are analogous to access control list in the conventional infrastructure with several advantages. Application Network Profile (ANP): Group of EPGs with a contract between them that defines the connectivity and how the EPGs communicate. Bridge domain is analogous to vlan in traditional concept but BD is a like a container for subnets. It can be defined to define a Layer 2 boundary and are Vxlan which Figure 5. Application network profile ANP Group of EPGs and the policies that define the communication between end point groups is called as Application Network profile.

And also allows device on subnet A to communicate to the device on subnet B in a different vxlan using vxlan routing SO the IP address is irrelevant as the routing is host based. In Figure 6, Within ACI Fabric there are two customers, Customer A & Customer B. Customer A and Customer B are two tenants in application centric Infr
