To move the gateway address for VLAN 1001 from the core outside the Cisco ACI fabric into the Cisco ACI fabric and ensure that endpoints in EPG-1001 route traffic to endpoints in other EPGs while minimizing flooded traffic in the fabric, the following configuration set is needed on the bridge domain:

Enable Hardware Proxy: This step involves enabling the hardware proxy feature, which allows the fabric to learn and maintain endpoint information more efficiently7.

Enable Unicast Routing: This step involves enabling unicast routing within the bridge domain, which allows for the routing of traffic between different EPGs and minimizes flooded traffic
