Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 57

Which option should be included in the data center design if it must support zone-based firewalling on a per virtual machine basis, while preserving full virtual machine mobility without manual intervention?

Answer options

• A. Cisco Virtual Services Gateway with vPath
• B. Cisco Nexus 1000v Advanced Edition with Prime Network Services Controller
• C. Cisco Nexus 5500 Series Layer 3 module
• D. strict unicast RPF

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Cisco Nexus 1000v Advanced Edition with Prime Network Services Controller allows for zone-based firewalling and supports virtual machine mobility without manual intervention. Options A, C, and D do not provide the same level of integration for per-VM firewalling or mobility, making them less suitable for this requirement.
