VMware NSX 4.x Professional (2023) — Question 91

How does the Traceflow tool identify issues in a network?

Answer options

• A. Compares intended network state in the control plane with Tunnel End Point (TEP) keepalives in the data plane.
• B. Injects ICMP traffic into the data plane and observes the results in the control plane.
• C. Compares the management plane configuration states containing control plane traffic and error reporting from transport node agents.
• D. Injects synthetic traffic into the data plane and observes the results in the control plane.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Traceflow injects synthetic traffic into the data plane to observe how it behaves and reports back in the control plane. Options A, B, and C describe different methodologies that do not accurately depict how Traceflow operates, as they involve comparisons or different types of traffic that do not align with Traceflow's function.
