VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 15

Which two statements are true about the implementation of multicast in NSX-T Data Center? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Multicast routing is implemented with PIM Sparse-Mode.
• B. IGMP Snooping is used to populate multicast forwarding tables.
• C. Tier-0 gateways can be the Rendezvous Point.
• D. Multicast is supported in ESXi and KVM transport nodes.
• E. An Edge can be the Rendezvous Point.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because multicast routing in NSX-T Data Center employs PIM Sparse-Mode and IGMP Snooping facilitates the creation of multicast forwarding tables. Options C, D, and E are incorrect because while Tier-0 gateways can act as a Rendezvous Point, it's not universally applicable, and multicast support is not specifically tied to Edge devices or all transport nodes.
