Permit-system VMs need a shared logical Layer 2 broadcast domain even when they sit in different racks. Which SDN building block provides that virtual switching?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A segment is the software version of a VLAN—one virtual hallway the permit VMs can shout across, even if they live in different racks. A datastore holds disks, and smart groups or watchlists are not Layer 2 networks.
Full Explanation
An NSX segment, also called a logical switch in Manager mode, provides virtual Layer 2 switching so attached VMs share a broadcast domain independent of rack or host. That is the SDN building block for a logical L2 network. A datastore is a storage object. Workspace ONE smart groups and Carbon Black watchlists are EUC and endpoint constructs and do not create an NSX broadcast domain.
