ACI multi-pod: Access to non seed pod

[avanzaadmin]

Hello,

We are currently doing labs with ACI. Does anyone know if it is possible to connect with the APIC through the infra tenant to another pods TEP (Pod2, 10.201.0.0/16 in our case) that is not the seed pod? It works fine in the seed-pod (Pod 1, 10.200.0.0/16)

The leafs has the correct routes to the other pod and inter connectivity works as intended.

I realize the reason that this does not currently work for us is because we simply do not have a route for the TEPs of the non-seed pod (Pod 2).

So, is it possible to add a static route to the APIC? should we add static route to the APIC? or should we do it in some other way?

The only supported method to add an APIC to pod2 is to configure the APIC as: 

Pod ID = Pod 2 ID

TEP Pool = Pod 1 TEP
