Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID, legacy) — Question 8

Which component of a Cisco Nexus 1000V Series switch is responsible for propagating configurations to virtual switches?

Answer options

• A. SUP
• B. FEX
• C. VSM
• D. VEM

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, VEM, as it is the component that implements the virtual switch functionality and receives configurations from the VSM. The SUP (A) refers to the supervisor module, FEX (B) is for fabric extenders, and VSM (C) is the virtual supervisor module that manages the VEM but does not directly propagate configurations.
