2V0-41.24 Question 72
Single answerAn organization has deployed VMware NSX and is designing their logical switching architecture. They need to understand the role of the management plane in logical switching. What is a key function of the management plane in NSX logical switching?
- A
It handles the configuration of logical switches and maintains their state information.
- B
It performs packet forwarding and enforces distributed firewall rules at the host level.
- C
It ensures the synchronization of routing tables across NSX Edge nodes.
- D
It provides backup and disaster recovery for NSX Manager.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The management plane in VMware NSX is crucial for configuration and state management of logical switches, enabling the control plane to distribute this information to the data plane for implementation. This distinction ensures that the logical switching architecture operates efficiently and as designed.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The management plane in NSX logical switching is responsible for configuring logical switches and maintaining their state. This includes making the logical switch topology available to the control plane.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Packet forwarding and distributed firewall enforcement are responsibilities of the data plane, not the management plane.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Synchronization of routing tables is a function of the control plane in NSX, not the management plane.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Backup and disaster recovery are not functions of the management plane; they are part of overall system administration and data protection strategies.
