VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 78

Which logical switching component provides layer 2 forwarding functionality in a VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC)?

Answer options

• A. N-VDS/VDS
• B. Uplink
• C. Segment port
• D. Transport node

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The N-VDS/VDS is responsible for providing layer 2 forwarding functionality, making it the correct choice. The Uplink is used for connecting to physical networks but does not handle layer 2 forwarding. The Segment port is a component of the network segment but does not itself provide layer 2 forwarding, and the Transport node is more related to the infrastructure setup rather than layer 2 functionality.
