Which function does Fabric Composer provide to facilitate network scaling?

Question

Options

• ADevice clustering
• BAutomatic VLAN routing
• CFabric expansion through additional leafs and spines
• DNAT traversal

• A

• B
  5% (2)
• C
  91% (40)
• D

Explanation

Fabric Composer facilitates network scaling through fabric expansion via additional leaf and spine nodes (C), which is the core architectural pattern of leaf-spine (Clos) networks - adding leafs increases server/endpoint capacity, while adding spines increases bandwidth between leafs, making horizontal scaling predictable and non-disruptive.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Device clustering) is a high-availability/load-balancing technique for grouping devices, not a fabric scaling mechanism.
• B (Automatic VLAN routing) relates to Layer 2/3 segmentation and inter-VLAN communication, not expanding network capacity.
• D (NAT traversal) is a technique for crossing network address translation boundaries (common in VPNs/firewalls), completely unrelated to fabric scaling.

Memory tip: Think of a leaf-spine fabric like a tree that grows outward - you add more leaves to connect more devices, and more spine trunks to carry the load. "Fabric Composer composes the fabric by adding to it."
