Harborview operations need the SDN plane that stores user configuration and hosts the NSX UI and API. Which plane is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The management plane is city hall: the UI, the API, and the file cabinet of desired config. Host forwarding tables do the street work, but they are not where operators save the design. vSAN witness is a storage construct, not NSX city hall.
Full Explanation
In NSX-T, the management plane—NSX Manager—is the entry point for UI and API, persists user configuration, and serves operational queries. The data plane forwards packets from programmed tables; it is not the configuration store. A vSAN witness and a local-control-plane-only design omit the central management plane the civic operator uses.
