Loop in ACI

[Ahmad A Sadiq]

Hello Guys,

I am new to the Data Center Knowledge and I wanna ask, can my server guys cause a loop in my ACI and would it be detected on my APIC Faults?

I believe most of the servers guy play around without knowing the true effects of their actions.

ACI does not use STP Loops so it not cause any issue, but if other system connected device have loops then you can detect and avoid.

Dear @balaji.bandi ,

Thank you for this. I was referring to Endpoints causing loop in the ACI and the first article you shared has answered that.

Thank you.
