In remote Leaf Solution, a single VMM domain can be created and is

 • The VM has IP address “10.10.10.10” and a default gateway of Mgmt &
10.10.10.1 in VLAN 10. When the VM comes up, ACI fabric configures Monitoring
the VLAN and the default gateway of the Leaf switches where the VM

is connected. The APIC controller also pushes the contract and other Concepts
associated policies based on the location of the VM.
• When the VM moves from a Remote leaf to a Local Leaf, the ACI  Remote Leaf in
detects the location of VM through VMM integration. ACI

• Depending on the EPG specific configuration, the APIC controller may

need to pushes the ACI policy on the Leaf for successful VM mobility
