The video introduces you to a concept of Endpoint Security Group (ESG) in Cisco ACI 6.0. The lab walks through migrating existing EPG endpoints into ESGs using various selector types including EPG selectors, IP tags, MAC tags, and VMM-based attributes like VM name and VM tags. This demonstrates how each selector type affects switching versus routed traffic enforcement. The key takeaway is that ESGs provide a flexible, app-centric security model that supports multi-BD grouping and granular endpoint classification, making them well-suited for greenfield deployments or as a migration path from EPG-based policy.

This video demonstrates how to use Cisco ACI 6.0 Microsegmentation to isolate endpoints into smaller security zones called uEPGs. We will be using flexible attributes like IP address, MAC, VM name, or OS instead of relying on VLANs or subnets. We will go through enabling microsegmentation on existing EPGs, creating uEPGs with various attribute types, and applying contracts to control which isolated groups are allowed to communicate. The goal is to show how granular, policy-driven endpoint isolation can be achieved within the same Bridge Domain without redesigning the underlying network.
