2V0-41.24 Question 260
Select 2In an NSX Federation deployment, which security components are responsible for ensuring secure communication between the Global Manager (GM) and Local Managers (LM)?
- A
Certificate-based authentication
- B
IPSec tunnels between Global Manager and Local Managers
- C
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for administrative users
- D
Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS)
- E
Encrypted communication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
NSX Federation ensures secure communication between the Global Manager and Local Managers using certificate-based authentication and mutual TLS (mTLS). These security components validate the identity of the entities involved and encrypt the communication channel, ensuring secure data transfer. Other options, such as RBAC or IPSec, are either unrelated or not explicitly used in this context.
- A. Correct.
Certificate-based authentication is a key security mechanism in NSX Federation to validate the identity of the Global Manager and Local Managers.
- B. Incorrect.
While IPSec tunnels provide secure communication in some VMware contexts, they are not explicitly part of NSX Federation security components to secure GM and LM communication.
- C. Incorrect.
RBAC is related to user access control and permissions but does not directly secure communication between Global and Local Managers.
- D. Correct.
Mutual TLS (mTLS) ensures that both the Global Manager and Local Managers authenticate each other and encrypt communication.
- E. Incorrect.
SSL is a deprecated protocol and is not used for secure communication in NSX Federation. Instead, mTLS is used.
