Question #: 4
Topic #: 2

Which two are part of the process for registering a Local Manager (LM) to a Global Manager (GM) in NSX for centralized management of network and security services across different locations? (Choose two.)

AThe LM Cluster VIP (or FQDN LM Cluster VIP) is provided for GM-LM communication.

BThe LM will validate the GM license to perform the GM registration.

CThe IP or FQDN of any of the three LM nodes must be used for registration.

DThe external load balancer VIP is used for NSX Managers without requiring node API certificate updates.

EThe GM-Active requests the LM IP (or FQDN) and admin credentials for registration.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, E

NSX Federation Registration Process (Correct Answers - A, E):

(A - LM Cluster VIP is used for GM-LM communication)

Ensures that the Global Manager (GM) can communicate with Local Managers (LMs) via a stable endpoint.

(E - GM-Active requests LM IP/FQDN and admin credentials for registration)

The Global Manager initiates the registration process by requesting LM connection details and authentication credentials.

Incorrect Options:

(B - LM Validates GM License):

The GM handles licensing validation, not the Local Manager.

(C - IP/FQDN of Any LM Node for Registration):

NSX requires the LM Cluster VIP, not an individual node's IP, to ensure HA and failover support.

(D - External Load Balancer VIP):

NSX does not require an external load balancer for GM-LM communication.

The GM-Active requesting the LM IP sounds familiar, but I can't remember if admin credentials are also needed for that step.

I feel like the GM needs to validate the LM license, but I might be mixing it up with another process we studied.

Validating the GM license before registration, that's a good detail to keep in mind. I'll make sure I don't miss that on the exam.

Okay, I've got this. The LM Cluster VIP is used for GM-LM communication, and the IP or FQDN of any LM node can be used for registration. I'm confident I can get this right.

A and E, for sure. The LM Cluster VIP and the GM-Active getting the LM details - that's the way to go. Although, I do wonder if the GM license validation is just a trick question. Hmm, maybe I should double-check that one...

I'm going to go with A and D. The LM Cluster VIP for communication, and the external load balancer VIP for NSX Managers without needing to update the node certificates. Sounds like the easiest way to get this done.

Hmm, I think B and C are the right choices here. The LM needs to validate the GM license, and we need to use the IP or FQDN of the LM nodes for the registration process. That's how I read it, at least.
