Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
To set up Federation in VMware NSX, certain prerequisites must be met, including the deployment of a Global Manager, ensuring that all NSX Managers are running a compatible version, and establishing connectivity between the Global Manager and Local Managers. These prerequisites ensure proper communication and consistent policy enforcement across the Federation. However, NSX Managers can be distributed across data centers, and a dedicated NSX Edge Cluster is not specifically required for setting up Federation.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: NSX Managers can be deployed in different data centers; they do not need to be in the same data center for Federation to function.
- B. Correct.
Correct: A Global Manager is required to manage and configure policies across multiple Local Managers in a Federation setup.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Federation functionality requires all NSX Managers to be running a version of NSX-T that supports Federation features.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Connectivity between the Global Manager and Local Managers is essential for communication, management, and consistent policy configuration across the Federation.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While NSX Edge Clusters are essential for other NSX features like routing and load balancing, they are not a specific prerequisite for Federation.
