Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 55

A customer needs a design for a new data center network that meets these requirements:

• Logically partition the environment into separate security domains.
• Cut costs related to purchasing additional equipment.
• Separate routing processes, TCAM, QoS tables, and data planes.

Which technology must be used?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding), as it allows for the creation of multiple virtual routing instances on a single router, thus meeting the need for separate routing processes and data planes. VLANs (A) are used for network segmentation but do not provide separate routing processes, while vPC (B) and VDC (C) do not address the requirement for isolated routing functionalities.
