VMware vSphere 6 Beta — Question 45

What is one of the benefits of a spine-leaf network topology?

Answer options

• A. A loop prevention protocol is not required
• B. Automatic propagation of security policies to all nodes
• C. Allows for VXl ANs to be defined in h traditional network topology
• D. Network virtualization relies on spine leaf topologies to create logical switches

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because spine-leaf topologies are specifically designed to support network virtualization by enabling the creation of logical switches. Options A and B are incorrect since loop prevention protocols may still be necessary in some configurations, and security policy propagation is not a unique feature of spine-leaf architectures. Option C is also incorrect as VXLANs are a feature that aligns well with spine-leaf designs rather than traditional topologies.
