QuestionQ51

DCI And 7750 SR interoperability

Which statement about the gateway-less data center interconnect solution is FALSE?

  • A It provides a clear demarcation for security between the border leaf and gateway.
  • B All of the data centers leaf routers must be reachable over the WAN network.
  • C The route reflectors must be reachable between different data centers.
  • D The data center border leaf and gateway can use either eBGP or static routes to exchange routing information.
Explanation

A gateway-less data center interconnect design has the border leaf itself perform interconnection with border leafs in other data centers directly, eliminating the separate DCI gateway device found in gateway-based designs. Because that intermediary function is removed, there is no distinct security or administrative demarcation point separating a border-leaf role from a gateway role in this architecture; that clear demarcation only exists in the alternative design that retains dedicated gateway routers. The remaining statements correctly describe gateway-less DCI requirements: leaf/border-leaf routers across data centers must be reachable over the WAN, route reflectors must be reachable between data centers for control-plane peering, and either eBGP or static routes can be used to exchange the underlay routing information needed to reach remote border leafs.
