A library branch subnet must reach the datacenter VDI VLAN. Which basic networking function provides that path?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The branch and the VDI VLAN are different neighborhoods. A router is the road between them. A closet switch does not magically route across sites, and UAG is not the city's core router.
Full Explanation
A library branch subnet reaches the datacenter VDI VLAN via a router providing a Layer 3 path—not via L2 magic or UAG as the city core router. In municipal EUC terms, treat the endpoint as a window into city systems when the architecture says so, not as the system of record for the files or apps in the stem. Distractor concept: A Layer 2 switch alone does not route between civic sites/VLANs. Distractor concept: UAG is not the router between every civic subnet. Distractor concept: App Volumes package attach does not include inter-site routing. Exam caveat: Inter-VLAN/site reachability = routing (L3). Operational check: Traceroute from the branch subnet to a desktop VLAN gateway and confirm a router hop provides the path. Record the chosen control and the rejected failure modes in the civic change ticket or runbook so on-call staff and auditors share the same rationale after the next maintenance window. Re-validate after personnel or image changes that the same control still meets the city's continuity, security, and support expectations for this service. Helpdesk coaching tip aligned to the conversational brief: The branch and the VDI VLAN are different neighborhoods. A router is the road between them. A closet switch does not magically route across sites, and UAG is not the city's core router.
