350-401 Question 80
Select 2An enterprise is planning to implement device virtualization technologies to improve network flexibility and resource utilization. Which of the following technologies can be used to achieve device virtualization in a Cisco network environment?
- A
Cisco IOS XE Software Containers
- B
VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding)
- C
Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure)
- D
Cisco HyperFlex
- E
Cisco SD-WAN
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Device virtualization in Cisco network environments focuses on technologies that enable logical segmentation and isolation of resources on a single physical device. Cisco IOS XE Software Containers and VRF are examples of such technologies as they allow for resource separation and efficient utilization. While other options like ACI, HyperFlex, and SD-WAN are valuable Cisco solutions, they are not directly related to device virtualization.
- A. Correct.
Cisco IOS XE Software Containers enable virtualization by isolating network functions and running them as individual containers, which allows for greater flexibility and resource allocation.
- B. Correct.
VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) is a device virtualization technology that allows multiple routing tables to coexist on a single router, enabling network segmentation and multiple logical networks on the same device.
- C. Incorrect.
Cisco ACI is a data center networking solution focused on application-centric design and is not specifically aimed at device-level virtualization.
- D. Incorrect.
Cisco HyperFlex is a hyper-converged infrastructure solution designed for data centers and does not directly provide device virtualization capabilities.
- E. Incorrect.
Cisco SD-WAN is a wide-area network solution for managing and optimizing WAN connections but does not inherently provide device virtualization.
