Objective 2.1: Compare and Contrast the Benefits of Running VMware NSX on Physical Network Fabrics Fabrics Differentiate physical network topologies – Note about leaf-spine architecture With Leaf-Spine configurations, all devices are exactly the same number of segments away and contain a predictable and consistent amount of delay or latency for traveling information. This is possible […]

Objective 1.3: Differentiate Physical and Virtual Network Technologies Differentiate logical and physical topologies, components and services Servers are interconnected by a physical network that already meets the basic requirements for network virtualization –> provide IP connectivity between the physical servers. Because the vSwitch is the first hop in the data path for every packet that […]

Objective 1.1: Compare and Contrast the Benefits of a VMware NSX Implementation Determine challenges with physical network implementations Network micro-segmentation wraps security controls around much smaller groups of resources (often down to a small group of virtualized resources or individual virtual machines). Micro-segmentation has been understood to be a best practice approach from a security […]
