Select 3You are tasked with setting up a VMware NSX Federation deployment across two data centers. The customer requires unified management and consistent policy enforcement across both sites. During the planning phase, which of the following factors should you consider as requirements or limitations for NSX Federation?
- A
Each site must have its own NSX Global Manager instance.
- B
A minimum of one NSX Local Manager must be deployed per site.
- C
The NSX Federation feature is only supported on NSX-T versions 3.4 and above.
- D
NSX Federation allows for active-active data plane synchronization across data centers.
- E
The Global Manager cluster must have Layer 3 connectivity to all Local Managers.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, E
Explanation
NSX Federation allows for centralized management of multiple NSX-T environments (Local Managers) through a single Global Manager. Key requirements include deploying a Local Manager at each site, using NSX-T version 3.4 or above, and ensuring Layer 3 connectivity between the Global Manager and Local Managers. However, it does not enable active-active data plane synchronization, which is outside the scope of Federation's capabilities.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Only one NSX Global Manager is required for Federation, and it manages all connected sites. Multiple Global Managers are not a requirement.
- B. Correct.
Correct. NSX Local Manager must be deployed at each site to ensure site-specific configurations and operations are managed locally.
- C. Correct.
Correct. NSX Federation is supported only on NSX-T versions 3.4 and above. Using an older version would make Federation unavailable.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. NSX Federation does not provide active-active data plane synchronization. It is designed for active-standby or consistent policy enforcement across sites.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The Global Manager must have Layer 3 connectivity to all Local Managers to ensure proper communication and management across sites.
