2V0-41.24 Question 228
Select 2An organization has deployed a VMware NSX Federation architecture across two data centers to ensure consistent policy enforcement and centralized management. Before enabling Federation, the organization needs to prepare the environment. Which prerequisites must be met to successfully enable NSX Federation?
- A
Global Manager appliances must be deployed in both data centers.
- B
The MTU size between the Global Manager and Local Manager must be at least 1500 bytes.
- C
Each Local Manager must have a unique, non-overlapping IP address range.
- D
A Global Manager appliance must be in the active/standby configuration for high availability.
- E
NSX-T versions in all data centers must be compatible with Federation.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: C, E
Explanation
To enable NSX Federation, the environment must meet specific prerequisites to ensure proper communication and functionality. Each Local Manager must have unique IP address ranges to avoid conflicts in the Federated setup. Additionally, the NSX-T versions in all data centers must be compatible with Federation to ensure seamless policy enforcement and centralized management. These prerequisites are critical for a successful deployment of Federation architecture.
- A. Incorrect.
Global Manager appliances are only required in one data center as the central management point for the Federation architecture. Each Local Manager connects to this central Global Manager.
- B. Incorrect.
The MTU size requirement for NSX Federation is 1600 bytes or higher to support encapsulated traffic. An MTU of 1500 bytes is insufficient.
- C. Correct.
Unique, non-overlapping IP address ranges are a prerequisite to avoid conflicts between Local Managers in a Federated environment.
- D. Incorrect.
A Global Manager appliance does not require active/standby configuration. The default deployment is a single active Global Manager; HA can be configured if needed but is not a prerequisite.
- E. Correct.
NSX-T versions in all data centers must be compatible with Federation to ensure smooth communication and management.
