Enabling ARP flooding is necessary when VMs are migrated from a pre-existing network to Cisco ACI and their gateways remain in the legacy setup. This allows the ACI fabric to learn about silent hosts that do not initiate communication, ensuring that the migrated VMs can communicate with all hosts in the network, including those that are silent.

The design approach shown in the exhibit is application-centric. This model focuses on the application requirements and defines network policies based on the needs of the application rather than traditional network constructs. It allows for a more dynamic and flexible network configuration that aligns with the application’s behavior and interactions.

Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (Bidirectional PIM) is used between the inter-pod network (IPN) and spines within each pod in a Cisco ACI environment to allow broadcast traffic replication between pods. This protocol is designed to efficiently route multicast traffic in scenarios where the same data is being sent to multiple receivers, which aligns with the need for broadcast traffic replication in an interconnected multi-pod ACI architecture. References := ( Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure Official Cert Guide )

When extending a Cisco ACI Multi-Pod setup to a Multi-Site implementation, configuring BIDIR-PIM in both the IPN (Inter-Pod Network) and ISN (Inter-Site Network) is necessary. This allows for efficient multicast traffic routing between multiple pods and sites.
