2V0-41.24 Question 256
Select 3An organization has implemented NSX Federation to manage multiple NSX-T Data Center environments across different regions. They are concerned about maintaining secure communication between the Global Manager (GM) and the Local Managers (LMs) in these regions. Which security use cases are addressed by NSX Federation?
- A
Ensuring encrypted communication between the Global Manager and Local Managers.
- B
Providing role-based access control (RBAC) for managing workloads in federated environments.
- C
Enabling secure data synchronization of policies across multiple NSX-T instances.
- D
Preventing unauthorized access to workloads by restricting external communications at the VM level.
- E
Enforcing secure authentication mechanisms between federated components.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
NSX Federation addresses several security use cases to ensure secure operations across federated environments. These include encrypted communication between the Global Manager and Local Managers, secure synchronization of policies, and robust authentication mechanisms. These measures ensure that the Federation operates securely and maintains the integrity and confidentiality of data shared across regions.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring encrypted communication between the Global Manager and Local Managers is a key Federation security use case to protect data in transit.
- B. Incorrect.
While RBAC is important for managing workloads, it is not specific to NSX Federation's security use cases.
- C. Correct.
Secure data synchronization of policies ensures that policies are accurately and securely distributed across multiple NSX-T instances.
- D. Incorrect.
Restricting external communications at the VM level is more related to micro-segmentation and distributed firewall features, not NSX Federation security use cases.
- E. Correct.
Enforcing secure authentication mechanisms between federated components is critical for verifying the identity of components in a Federation setup.
