Municipal operators used to log into every top-of-rack switch and type unique CLI. The city now wants desired network state stored once and pushed to the fabric. Which SDN building block replaces device-by-device CLI?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
SDN is one recipe card in a central kitchen, not a bigger stove and not a sticky note on every switch. The manager and controller keep the desired state and push it—buying a larger chassis does not create that plane.
Full Explanation
A defining SDN building block is centralized desired state in the management and control planes rather than unique CLI on each physical device. NSX Manager persists configuration and the control plane programs transport nodes. A larger chassis is still traditional hardware networking. Horizon App Volumes and Carbon Black prevention policies do not replace ToR CLI with an NSX controller.
