A company is concerned it will run out of VLANs on its private cloud platform in the next couple months, and the product currently offered to customers requires the company to allocate three dedicated, segmented tiers. Which of the following can the company implement to continue adding new customers and to maintain the required level of isolation from other tenants?
VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) is the most suitable solution for a company concerned about running out of VLANs. VXLAN extends the traditional VLAN ID space from 12 bits to 24 bits, allowing for up to 16 million unique network segments compared to the 4,096 VLAN limit. This significantly increases the number of available network segments, making it an ideal solution for addressing VLAN exhaustion. Additionally, VXLAN provides the necessary isolation between tenants, ensuring that the company's requirement for dedicated, segmented tiers is met.
By implementing VXLAN, the company can continue adding new customers without being constrained by VLAN limitations. VXLAN provides the required isolation for tenants while allowing for the efficient use of available network resources
C. VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN): VXLAN is a network virtualization technology that extends the VLAN ID space to 24 bits, allowing for 16 million unique network segments, compared to the 4,096 VLAN limit. This is an ideal solution for addressing VLAN exhaustion and maintaining network isolation for tenants in a cloud environment.
