Cisco ACI Endpoints are not showing connections to the network switches

Products

• CA Spectrum
• DX NetOps

Issue/Introduction

The Spectrum Virtual Network Assurance discovery does not create connections from the Cisco ACI_Endpoint Groups to the network switches in Spectrum. 

Environment

Spectrum integrated with VNA

Cause

The VMware plugin and the Cisco ACI plugin must be configured in the same environment to see the network connectivity to the Cisco ACI Endpoint Groups/Endpoints.

Resolution

The VMware plugin and the Cisco ACI plugin must be configured in the same environment to see the network connectivity to the Cisco ACI Endpoint Groups/Endpoints. When the VMWare plugin and the Cisco ACI Plugin are both configured for the same environment, we will show the connectivity between the Leaf Switches and the Hypervisors, then the hypervisors to vSwitch, then vSwitch to EPG/Endpoints.
