1v0-41.20 Exam Dumps : Associate VMware Network Virtualization

B. It is a module deployed in all transport nodes that provides L2 functionality. D. ESXi hosts support both N-VDS and VDS.

N-VDS (NSX Virtual Distributed Switch) and VDS (vSphere Distributed Switch) are both network switch constructs used in NSX-T Data Center. The N-VDS provides Layer 2 (L2) functionality and is deployed on all transport nodes to handle network traffic. ESXi hosts support both N-VDS and VDS, allowing for flexible network configurations.

In NSX-T Data Center, the Geneve protocol is used to provide overlay networks on top of physical networks. Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) is a tunneling protocol that enables the creation of virtual network overlays, allowing for the segmentation and isolation of network traffic in multi-tenant environments. This flexibility simplifies network management and enhances scalability.

NSX managed compute endpoints are called Transport Nodes. A transport node is a host or a NSX Edge that has NSX modules installed and is registered with the NSX Manager.
