2V0-41.24 Question 247
Single answerAn organization has deployed a VMware NSX Federation environment with multiple NSX-T Manager instances in different locations. They want to ensure seamless network connectivity between two sites for their applications, even in the event of a site failure. Which concept of stretched networking in NSX Federation allows this seamless connectivity?
- A
Tier-0 Gateway with Active-Active Mode
- B
Tier-1 Gateway with Local Egress
- C
Global Segment with Layer 2 Stretch
- D
Transport Zones with Multisite Connectivity
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
In an NSX Federation environment, Global Segments with Layer 2 Stretch are used to extend Layer 2 networks across multiple sites. This ensures that applications can maintain their connectivity even in the event of a site failure, making it a critical concept for stretched networking in Federation.
- A. Incorrect.
Tier-0 Gateway with Active-Active Mode provides connectivity to external networks and supports failover, but it does not specifically enable seamless Layer 2 connectivity between sites in a Federation setup.
- B. Incorrect.
Tier-1 Gateway with Local Egress controls traffic routing at the local site but does not handle seamless Layer 2 connectivity across sites.
- C. Correct.
Global Segment with Layer 2 Stretch extends Layer 2 networks across multiple sites in NSX Federation, enabling seamless connectivity for applications, even during site failover.
- D. Incorrect.
Transport Zones with Multisite Connectivity define the scope of networking for NSX components but do not explicitly handle seamless Layer 2 network extension in a Federation environment.
