In traditional networking, we used to have VLAN as the Layer
2 forwarding domain which also define the broadcast domain. Whereas in ACI,
Vlan are just an identifier and doesn’t defines the L2 domain. Bride domain defines the broadcast and L2 domain in ACI.

Like Vlan SVI in traditional network, subnets can also be
defined in BD. We can also define more than one subnet under BD.
