An NSX administrator would like to create an L2 segment with the following requirements:

* L2 domain should not exist on the physical switches.

* East/West communication must be maximized as much as possible.

Which type of segment must the administrator choose?

AVLAN

BOverlay

CBridge

DHybrid

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

An overlay segment is a layer 2 broadcast domain that is implemented as a logical construct in the NSX-T Data Center software. Overlay segments do not require any configuration on the physical switches, and they allow for optimal east/west communication between workloads on different ESXi hosts. Overlay segments use the Geneve protocol to encapsulate and decapsulate traffic between the hosts. Overlay segments are created and managed by the NSX Manager.

Overlay is the way to go, no doubt about it!

Wait, can you really maximize East/West with Overlay? Sounds too good to be true.

Definitely going with Overlay for this!

Hybrid might be a good compromise, but not sure it meets all the requirements.

I think VLAN could work too, but not ideal.

I’m a bit confused about Bridge segments; do they really fit the requirement of not existing on physical switches?

I practiced a similar question, and I believe VLANs are out because they require physical switches. Overlay seems like the best fit.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Hybrid segments being used for East/West traffic.

I think the answer might be Overlay since it allows for L2 segments without needing physical VLANs.

I think the answer is Overlay. The requirement to keep the L2 domain off the physical switches points to that being the best choice to meet the needs of the NSX administrator.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The requirements seem a bit contradictory to me. I'll need to review the material on these different segment types again before I can confidently answer this.

Okay, let's see here. The physical switches can't have the L2 domain, and we want to maximize east-west communication. I'm leaning towards Overlay, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The requirement to maximize east-west communication makes me think it might be Hybrid, but I'm not totally sure. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The requirements mention that the L2 domain should not exist on the physical switches, so I'm thinking the answer is Overlay.

I still think Overlay is the best option for this scenario.

I see your point, Ngoc. Hybrid segments could be a good choice too.

But what about option D) Hybrid? It could also meet the requirements.

LOL, this is like asking a fish to choose between swimming or flying. Overlay is the only logical choice here, unless the admin wants to live in the stone age.
