The Cisco Nexus 1000V in the VMware vSphere solution effectively creates an additional access
layer in the virtualized data center network; which of the following 1000V characteristics can the
designer take advantage of?
A.
Offloads the STP requirement from the external Access layer switches
B.
If upstream access switches do not support vPC or VSS the dual-homed ESX host traffic can
still be distributed using virtual port channel host mode using subgroups automatically discovered
through CDP
C.
Allows transit traffic to be forwarded through the ESX host between VMNICs
D.
Can be divided into multiple virtual device contexts for service integration, enhanced security,
administrative boundaries, and flexibility of deployment
B
Virtual Port Channel Host Mode (vPC-HM), shown in Figure 5-33, allows a port channel
from the Cisco Nexus 1000V to be terminated on two separate upstream switches, even
if these switches do not support a clustering technology, such as vPC or VSS
