A VSX cluster configuration is built from which three components?

Question

Options

• AManagement Network, Internal Communications Network, Virtual IP Addresses
• BManagement Network, Internal Virtual Network, Virtual IP Addresses
• CSynchronization Network, Internal Communications Network, Virtual IP Addresses
• DSynchronization Network, Internal Network, External Network
• ESynchronization Network, Virtual Network, External Network

• B
  2% (1)
• C
  94% (59)
• D

• E

Explanation

Option C is correct because a VSX cluster requires a Synchronization Network (to replicate state tables between cluster members for failover), an Internal Communications Network (for control traffic between VSX cluster members), and Virtual IP Addresses (shared IPs that float between members to maintain connectivity during failover).

Options A and B are wrong because "Management Network" is not a core VSX cluster building block - management connectivity is separate from cluster operation. Option B also introduces "Internal Virtual Network," which is not the correct term. Option D is wrong because "Internal Network" and "External Network" are generic topology terms describing traffic directions, not VSX cluster infrastructure components. Option E similarly misuses "Virtual Network" and "External Network," neither of which define VSX cluster architecture.

Memory tip: Think "SIV" - Synchronization keeps members in sync, Internal Communications keeps them talking, Virtual IPs keep clients connected. If a choice swaps "Synchronization" for "Management," it's wrong - VSX clusters sync state, they don't manage through the cluster network.
