2V0-41.24 Question 236
Select 3You are tasked with implementing a Federation deployment in an NSX-T environment across multiple sites. During initial planning, what requirements and limitations must you consider to ensure the Federation deployment is successful?
- A
The Global Manager must have bi-directional connectivity with all Local Managers.
- B
All sites in the Federation must be running the same NSX-T version.
- C
Federation supports a maximum of three Global Managers in active-active mode.
- D
Local Managers can operate independently in the event of Global Manager failure.
- E
Federation requires a dedicated physical appliance for the Global Manager.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Federation in NSX-T enables centralized management across multiple sites via the Global Manager. Bi-directional connectivity between the Global Manager and Local Managers is critical for configuration propagation and synchronization. All sites must run the same NSX-T version to ensure compatibility. Additionally, Local Managers are capable of operating independently during Global Manager outages, providing resilience. However, Federation does not require dedicated physical hardware for the Global Manager, nor does it support active-active configurations for multiple Global Managers.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The Global Manager requires bi-directional connectivity to all Local Managers for configuration and synchronization purposes.
- B. Correct.
Correct. All sites within the Federation must be on the same NSX-T version to ensure compatibility and proper functionality of Federation features.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Federation does not support active-active Global Managers. It uses a single Global Manager for centralized management, with optional standby configurations for failover.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Local Managers are designed to operate independently and continue managing their respective sites even if the Global Manager becomes unavailable.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The Global Manager does not require a dedicated physical appliance. It can be deployed as a virtual appliance.
