2V0-41.24 Question 13
Select 2An organization is deploying VMware NSX-T Data Center in its environment. The network architect explains that NSX components will be distributed across the data plane, control plane, and management plane. Which of the following components belong to the control plane in the NSX architecture?
- A
NSX Edge Nodes
- B
NSX Manager
- C
Central Control Plane (CCP)
- D
Transport Nodes
- E
Distributed Firewall (DFW)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: C, E
Explanation
The NSX architecture is divided into three main planes: management plane, control plane, and data plane. The control plane is responsible for computing and distributing the state of the logical network. In this scenario, the Central Control Plane (CCP) and Distributed Firewall (DFW) are part of the control plane, while other elements like NSX Edge Nodes and Transport Nodes are associated with the data plane, and NSX Manager pertains to the management plane.
- A. Incorrect.
NSX Edge Nodes are part of the data plane, responsible for managing east-west and north-south traffic, but not part of the control plane.
- B. Incorrect.
NSX Manager belongs to the management plane, which provides a user interface, API access, and handles configuration and monitoring tasks.
- C. Correct.
Central Control Plane (CCP) is part of the control plane. It is responsible for computing and distributing logical network state information to transport nodes.
- D. Incorrect.
Transport Nodes are part of the data plane and are responsible for carrying out data forwarding and implementing policies distributed by the control plane.
- E. Correct.
Distributed Firewall (DFW) operates as part of the control plane to enforce security policies across the environment.
