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.
