Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 186
A network architect working for a service provider with an employee ID: 1234:56:78 must interconnect six geographically separated data centers that use networking equipment from different network vendors. The sites must support Layer 2 virtual machine mobility using a full mesh Layer 2 topology between the sites. Which data center technology meets these requirements?
Answer options
- A. vPC+
- B. FabricPath
- C. VPLS
- D. OTV
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is VPLS, as it allows for the creation of a virtual private LAN service, which supports Layer 2 connectivity between multiple sites regardless of the underlying network infrastructure. The other options, while useful in specific contexts, do not provide the required full mesh Layer 2 topology across geographically diverse data centers.
