A. B. C. D.C.
When implementing inter-VSAN routing on a fabric that contains duplicate domain IDs, the feature that must be configured to ensure continued operation is Virtual Domains (VDs).
Duplicate domain IDs can cause issues in a fabric because they are used by switches to identify and locate other switches and devices within the fabric. When duplicate domain IDs are present, the switches may not be able to communicate with each other properly, and the fabric may experience instability.
Virtual Domains (VDs) is a feature that allows a single physical switch to be partitioned into multiple logical switches, each with its own unique domain ID. This enables switches with duplicate domain IDs to coexist within the same fabric without interfering with each other.
When VDs are configured, each logical switch has its own unique set of domain IDs, including domain IDs for each VSAN. This allows inter-VSAN routing to be configured between VSANs with duplicate domain IDs, while ensuring continued operation of the fabric.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is D. virtual domains.
