Hello guys,

Would it be ok to discuss here a confusion about some videos in the ACI series?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I have two issues:

- in the L3OUT videos, i wasn't sure why EPG WEB was able to access (with ICMP) the internet, when it was configured as the provider of the contract and the external EPG was the consumer; then i thought it should work only for ICMP; i did a quick lab and noticed that if you use ANY in the subject, the provider can initiate traffic towards the consumer. I noticed that if you leave the EtherType as Unspecified you cannot select Statefull, so it will accept connections coming from the provider.

- in the advanced contract video, you mention that the color of the label is important and not the label name; i did a lab ( 5.2) and i noticed it was the other way around; i used black for all the EPGs and two label names; i'll try again today just to be sure.

Thanks,
Razvan

When the contract is permit any, the direction between consumer and provider become irrelevant. On the color and label, it has been a while since I used it so I would go with whatever your findings are in your lab. I personally like to keep contract as simple as possible.
