# Cisco ACI (APIC)

SAMURAI reads the ACI fabric through the APIC controllers (fabric nodes, tenants, application profiles, EPGs, bridge domains, VRFs, contracts and filters) and resolves endpoints to their owning leaf.

## Fabric

ACI fabric inventory (spine/leaf switches and APIC controllers) with role, model and reachability.

## Hosts

Endpoints learned by the fabric (fvCEp), resolved to tenant / application-profile / EPG.

## VRFs

VRFs (private networks) and their associations.

![VRFs](/img/05-device-panels/apic/apic-03-vrfs.png)

## BDs

Bridge domains and their subnets.

## EPGs

Endpoint groups, the policy unit endpoints belong to.

![EPGs](/img/05-device-panels/apic/apic-05-epgs.png)

## Contracts

Contracts and their consumer/provider EPGs, the ACI access policy.

![Contracts](/img/05-device-panels/apic/apic-06-contracts.png)

## App Profiles

Application profiles grouping related EPGs.

## Filters

Filters and entries (protocol/port) referenced by contracts.

## Changes

Configuration changes over time, correlated to the responsible admin where audit data is available. Cards expand to a field-level diff.
