2V0-41.24 Question 248
Single answerAn organization is deploying VMware NSX Federation to enable workload mobility across two sites. They want to ensure seamless communication between workloads, regardless of their location, by extending Layer 2 networks across the sites. Which concept is fundamental to achieving this requirement in a stretched network setup with NSX Federation?
- A
Tier-0 Gateway Active-Active Mode
- B
Global Segment
- C
Edge Transport Node Clustering
- D
Local Egress Configuration
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Global Segment is a key concept in NSX Federation that enables Layer 2 network extension across multiple sites. By configuring Global Segments, workloads can communicate seamlessly regardless of their physical location, fulfilling the organization's requirement for stretched networking in a federated environment.
- A. Incorrect.
Tier-0 Gateway Active-Active Mode is used to provide redundancy and high availability in NSX environments, but it is not specifically related to stretched networking or extending Layer 2 networks across sites.
- B. Correct.
Global Segment is a fundamental concept in NSX Federation that allows Layer 2 segments to be stretched across multiple sites, enabling seamless workload communication and mobility.
- C. Incorrect.
Edge Transport Node Clustering is used for high availability and load balancing in an NSX environment but does not relate directly to Layer 2 network extension across sites.
- D. Incorrect.
Local Egress Configuration optimizes traffic routing by sending traffic out of the nearest edge node, but it is not a key concept for enabling stretched networking across sites.
