Understanding Application Deployment Over an ACI Fabric

You can view the applications deployed over an ACI Fabric as well as the application structure in the Network pane.

Viewing Applications Deployed Over an ACI Fabric

1.In the Network pane, select Cisco ACI from the Category list, and then select Application Centric View from the View list.

Tip: The application-centric view allows you to see different tenants and the applications deployed under each. In this view, the ACI data model is organized in this order: Tenant > Application Profile > EPG > Endpoint.

2.Expand a tenant node to view all applications in the tenant.

3.Expand an application to view the following information of the application.

Endpoint Groups

L3 Out and L2 Out

Contracts

Viewing the Logic and Underlay Structure of an Application

Click an application node, select Context Maps tab, and then select a map type to view the corresponding structure of the application.

Logic Structure provides an overview of the logical relationships between endpoint groups and the contracts between them.

Underlay Map provides the context of how the application is being deployed and on which network devices.
