2V0-41.24 Question 234
Select 3An organization is deploying NSX Federation to manage multiple sites. Which of the following statements accurately describe the requirements and limitations of NSX Federation?
- A
A Global Manager cluster requires a minimum of three nodes to ensure high availability.
- B
Each Local Manager at a site must be running the same NSX-T version as the Global Manager.
- C
Cross-site communication between Local Managers requires direct Layer 2 connectivity.
- D
The Global Manager is responsible for distributed firewall enforcement across all sites.
- E
The maximum supported number of sites in an NSX Federation deployment is 16.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
NSX Federation introduces a centralized management architecture with a Global Manager and multiple Local Managers to support multi-site environments. Understanding the requirements, such as node clustering for the Global Manager and version compatibility across sites, is critical for successful deployment. Additionally, recognizing the limitations, such as the maximum number of supported sites, ensures proper design and scalability of the solution.
- A. Correct.
A Global Manager cluster requires a minimum of three nodes to ensure redundancy and high availability, which is a standard requirement for production deployments.
- B. Correct.
All Local Managers and the Global Manager must be running the same NSX-T version to ensure compatibility and proper synchronization across sites.
- C. Incorrect.
Cross-site communication between Local Managers does not require direct Layer 2 connectivity. Communication typically happens over Layer 3 using proper routing and connectivity.
- D. Incorrect.
The Global Manager does not handle distributed firewall enforcement. This is managed locally at each site by the respective Local Managers.
- E. Correct.
The maximum number of sites supported in an NSX Federation deployment is currently 16, as per VMware's product documentation.
