2V0-41.24 Question 254
Single answerAn organization has deployed VMware NSX Federation across two data centers. They want to stretch Layer 2 networks across these locations to enable seamless workload mobility. Which feature or concept of NSX Federation is most critical for ensuring consistent Layer 2 connectivity and failover capabilities across sites?
- A
Global Logical Switch
- B
Tier-0 Gateway
- C
NSX Manager Cluster
- D
Edge Transport Nodes
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Global Logical Switch is a key component in NSX Federation that allows Layer 2 networks to be extended across multiple locations. This is essential for enabling seamless workload mobility and ensuring consistent network behavior in a federated NSX environment. While other components like the Tier-0 Gateway and Edge Transport Nodes play significant roles in NSX, they do not specifically handle Layer 2 stretching.
- A. Correct.
Global Logical Switch is the NSX Federation feature that enables Layer 2 networks to span multiple locations. It ensures seamless Layer 2 connectivity and is critical for workload mobility across sites.
- B. Incorrect.
Tier-0 Gateway is responsible for North-South traffic and routing but does not provide Layer 2 stretch connectivity across sites.
- C. Incorrect.
NSX Manager Cluster is responsible for managing the NSX environment but does not directly address Layer 2 connectivity.
- D. Incorrect.
Edge Transport Nodes provide Layer 3 routing and services but are not directly responsible for stretching Layer 2 networks across federated sites.
