Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
VDC: Allows partitioning a single physical switch into multiple logical switches.
The correct matches are VDC with logical partitioning, VRF with multiple routing tables, FEX with remote line card, and Port Channel with link bundling. Common confusion is between VDC and VRF.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
VDC: Allows partitioning a single physical switch into multiple logical switches.
Why this is correct
VDC is correctly defined as partitioning a single physical switch into multiple logical switches.
VRF: Enables multiple independent routing tables within a single switch.
Why this is correct
VRF is correctly defined as enabling multiple independent routing tables within a single switch.
FEX: Extends the switch ports to a remote line card over fabric.
Why this is correct
FEX is correctly defined as extending switch ports to a remote line card over fabric.
Port Channel: Bundles multiple physical links into a single logical link.
Why this is correct
Port Channel is correctly defined as bundling multiple physical links into a single logical link.
VDC: Enables multiple independent routing tables within a single switch.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — this definition describes VRF, not VDC.
