Each VDC has a dedicated IP address for its mgmt0 port which is a L3 interface (not a L2 trunk interface) so IP addresses defined for each VDC belongs to same IP subnet.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
Each VDC has a dedicated IP address for its mgmt0 port which is a L3 interface (not a L2 trunk interface) so IP addresses defined for each VDC belongs to same IP subnet.
