Question
A data center uses Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch and contains two tenants, tenant A and tenant B.
- Tenant A uses IP addresses in the 10.2.30.41/24 to 10.2.30.64/24
range.
- Tenant B uses IP addresses in the 10.2.30.120/24 to 10.2.30.192/24
range. The engineer must implement a solution that
- Isolates the traffic for each tenant as separate routing data and
control planes.
- Physically partitions the Cisco Nexus device into separate multiple
logical devices with separate management, failure domain isolation, and resource management. Which two technologies meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Options
- AVDC
- BvPC
- CVXLAN
- DVLAN
- EVRF

Why each option
To isolate tenant traffic with separate routing instances, control planes, and logically partition a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch with separate management, failure domains, and resource allocation, Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs) and Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) are the necessary technologies.
VDC (Virtual Device Context) physically partitions a single Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch into multiple independent logical devices, each with its own management plane, control plane, data plane, configuration, and resource allocation, meeting the requirements for separate management, failure domains, and resources.
vPC (Virtual Port Channel) provides Layer 2 multipathing and redundancy within a single logical device, but it does not provide logical partitioning with separate management, control planes, or resource isolation for different tenants.
VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) extends Layer 2 networks over a Layer 3 underlay and provides multi-tenancy, but it does not offer the physical partitioning, separate management, or failure domain isolation that VDCs provide on a Nexus 7000.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) provides Layer 2 segmentation but does not provide separate routing data and control planes, nor does it offer the physical partitioning and resource isolation capabilities of VDCs.
VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) creates separate routing tables and forwarding instances within a router or switch, isolating traffic for each tenant with separate routing data and control planes, which is essential for multi-tenant isolation.
