VMware NSX-T Advanced Deployment (VCAP-NV Deploy) — Question 55

A healthcare company has mandated that all IP and DNS entries be allocated from an existing third-party IPAM solution. Also, for auditing purposes, all systems must handle user authentication via the existing open source LDAP directory.
When considering a logical design for this scenario, which is true about the dependency relationships of these systems?

Answer options

• A. The IPAM system is an upstream dependency and the LDAP system is a downstream dependency of vRealize Automation.
• B. Both the IPAM and LDAP systems are external, upstream dependencies of vRealize Automation.
• C. Both the IPAM and LDAP systems are external, downstream dependencies of vRealize Automation.
• D. The LDAP system is an upstream dependency and the IPAM system is a downstream dependency of vRealize Automation.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because both the IPAM and LDAP systems provide services that vRealize Automation relies on, making them downstream dependencies. Options A, B, and D incorrectly classify the nature of these dependencies, either mislabeling them as upstream or misrepresenting their role in relation to vRealize Automation.
