Describes how the ACI fabric learns endpoint IP addresses through the dataplane and provides granular control of address learning within VRF instances.
Dataplane IP address learning enables the ACI fabric to learn IP addresses directly through the dataplane.
-
Operates independently of standard methods such as ARP, GARP, and ND.
-
Applies to IP addressing within VRF instances.
-
Is enabled by default across the fabric.
Dataplane IP address learning configuration
You can manage dataplane IP address learning at the VRF instance level using the APIC GUI.
Beginning with Cisco APIC release 5.2(1), the following granular controls are available:
-
Disable dataplane IP address learning for specific endpoints.
-
Disable dataplane IP address learning for specific subnets.
