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.

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.

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...

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.

So, we need both B and C for the process of registering a LM to a GM.

Yes, C is also necessary to use the IP or FQDN of the LM nodes for registration.
