VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 17

How does 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. Compares the management plane configuration states containing control plane traffic and error reporting from transport node agents.
• C. Injects synthetic traffic into the data plane and observes the results in the control plane.
• D. Injects ICMP traffic into the data plane and observes the results in the control plane.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Traceflow works by injecting synthetic traffic into the data plane, allowing it to measure and analyze the path and behavior of this traffic in the control plane. Options A and B focus on comparisons of states and configurations rather than the direct traffic injection method used by Traceflow, while option D specifies ICMP traffic, which is not the method used by Traceflow.
