Option A is the way to go, but I'm pretty sure the TOR switch has to be able to do the Hokey Pokey too. That's a critical requirement, right?

Whoa, wait a minute. Option B can't be right, can it? All forwarding lookups done at the network controller? That doesn't sound very efficient to me.

User 3: Maybe the network controller only handles certain types of forwarding lookups?

Hold up, isn't Option D the right answer? The underlay network must be Layer 3 only in an ACI overlay network model.

I think Option A is the way to go. The TOR switch must understand both the overlay and underlay networks for the ACI model to work properly.

Yes, the network controller sets up the overlay paths, so Option C is also correct.

Option C seems correct to me. The network controller is responsible for setting up the overlay paths in an ACI architecture.
