QuestionQ6

Unknown / not found in official Broadcom sources

How should the Global Managers (GMs) and Local Managers (LMs) be distributed to provide high availability and optimal performance in a three-site NSX Federation deployment?

Choose two
  • A The GM should be a single appliance placed in a central cloud environment to simplify connectivity, relying on vSphere HA for availability.
  • B The GM cluster should be deployed across three sites.
  • C LMs are only needed on the primary site. Secondary sites can manage their local data plane directly via the GM.
  • D Each NSX site must have its own LM cluster that reports to the GM.
  • E LMs should only be deployed as single nodes to reduce overhead.
Explanation

NSX Federation centralizes global configuration through the Global Manager, but each location requires a Local Manager cluster to manage that location’s transport nodes and implement configuration locally. Distributing the three-node Global Manager cluster across the three sites improves management-plane availability by preserving quorum after a single-site failure, subject to the supported inter-node latency requirements.
