Thanks for your prompt reply. My main concern here is security with promicious mode enabled, is there a way to create in a isolated VMware environment?

One option is to connect the APIC Sim to a dedicated vSwitch without any physical uplinks. Then add a VM/Jumpbox with one Interface in the same vSwitch/Port Group as the Sim, and a second interface attached to your external/routed network vSwitch/portgroup. This would limit the exposure of the Sim to only the jumpbox which could be running a FW to prevent external access.
