My question is:
The ACI integrates with vCenter.
I want to use a vm as a external router(eve-ng).
I don't know if I can use same ACI interface which connect to VMware Hypervisor for L3 out interface config?
If it work, how to implement it ?
Thank a lot!

I haven't built it, but there should be no reason why you couldn't use the same ACI interface which is connect to a VMware Hypervisor for a L3 out interface config. However, you might have to make sure that the VLAN(s) that you want to use on the external router are configured in two pools:
You would then make sure that the static VLANs are manually assigned to the EPGs when assigning the VMM Domain to the EPGs.
What I DON'T KNOW is whether ACI will throw an error when you try and statically assign the same VLANs to SVIs on the routed interface facing the eve-ng router.
I've been thinking of playing with eve-ng myself, so I'd be interested in finding out how you get on!

Im not sure how you are planning to connecting . this interface. Is it a trunk that has VLANs for VMM and you want to have also VLAN that will be associated with L3 out, right ? and you want to add it L3 our ? Obviously not as interface, so SVI ? Sub-interface ?

sorry, I did not read you question completely.
You can create L3out to the VM but you need to use different VLAN number in L3Out

You need to connect your router to a port-group. IF it is ACI generated port-group, you need EPG and VMM domain attached to EPG to create a port-group, right ?

Another config. , simpler one will be to attach V-router to a non-ACI created port-group with static VLAN, provision that VLAN via uplink to ACI and assign it to L3out.
