Question 1
What is the VMware recommended way to deploy a virtual NSX Edge Node?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Through the NSX UI
VMware's recommended method for deploying NSX Edge nodes is through the NSX UI, which provides an intuitive graphical interface for the deployment process. This is the standard supported approach in modern NSX deployments and allows administrators to configure all necessary parameters directly within the management interface.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. ISO-based deployment is a legacy method not recommended for current NSX deployments.
- C. The vSphere Web Client does not provide NSX-specific deployment capabilities for Edge nodes.
- D. OVF command-line tools are not the recommended approach; the NSX UI is the official method.
Question 2
Which three selections are capabilities of Network Topology? (Choose three.)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A, B, E
A. Display how the different NSX components are interconnected. B. Display the VMs connected to Segments. E. Display the uplinks configured on the Tier-0 Gateways. The Network Topology view in NSX renders a logical map of the NSX environment: it shows how the NSX components such as gateways and segments interconnect, which VMs are attached to each segment, and the uplinks configured on Tier-0 gateways where the environment connects northbound. It is built from NSX inventory data, so the drawing stops at the NSX boundary and does not extend into the physical fabric.
Why the other options are wrong
- C. Physical switches and routers are outside the NSX inventory, so the topology map does not diagram how physical components are cabled together.
- D. Tier-1 gateways attach to Tier-0 gateways over an automatically created router link rather than administrator configured uplinks, so no Tier-1 uplinks appear in the view.
Question 3
An NSX administrator has deployed a single NSX Manager node and will be adding two additional nodes to form a 3-node NSX Management Cluster for a production environment. The administrator will deploy these two additional nodes and Cluster VIP using the NSX UI.
What two are the prerequisites for this configuration? (Choose two.)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B, D
B. All nodes must be in the same subnet. D. A compute manager must be configured. For deploying a 3-node NSX Management Cluster with a Cluster VIP via the NSX UI, a compute manager must be configured first to provide vSphere integration, and all nodes must be in the same subnet to ensure proper cluster communication and VIP functionality.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Cluster configuration can be completed through the NSX UI without requiring API calls.
- C. Nodes must be in the same subnet, not separate subnets, for proper cluster operation.
- E. NSX Manager runs on Linux-based appliances, not Windows Server.
Question 4
Which two commands does an NSX administrator use to check the IP address of the VMkernel port for the Geneve protocol on the ESXi transport node? (Choose two.)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C, D
C. esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get D. esxcfg-vmknic -l To check the IP address of the VMkernel port for the Geneve protocol on an ESXi transport node, administrators use esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get to view interface configurations and esxcfg-vmknic -l to list VMkernel NIC details including IP addresses.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. net-dvs is used for dvPortGroup configuration, not VMkernel port IP verification.
- B. esxcfg-nics -l displays physical NIC information, not VMkernel port details.
- E. esxcli network nic list shows physical NIC status but not VMkernel port IP addresses.
Question 5
Which two are supported by L2 VPN clients? (Choose two.)
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A, B
A. NSX Autonomous Edge B. NSX Edge An L2 VPN service on an NSX Edge is configured in either SERVER or CLIENT mode, so a standard NSX Edge backed gateway is a supported L2 VPN client. The NSX Autonomous Edge is the other supported client, purpose built as a standalone appliance deployed at the remote site to terminate the stretched Layer 2 tunnel.
Why the other options are wrong
- C. NSX for vSphere Edge belongs to the retired NSX-V platform and is not one of the client types offered by the NSX L2 VPN service.
- D. Third party hardware VPN appliances cannot terminate the L2 VPN tunnel, only NSX Edge based endpoints are supported.
Question 6
As part of an organization’s IT security compliance requirement, NSX Manager must be configured for 2FA (two-factor authentication).
What should an NSX administrator have ready before the integration can be configured?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. VMware Identity Manager with an OAuth Client added
To configure 2FA for NSX Manager, an administrator must have VMware Identity Manager with an OAuth Client already configured. This OAuth Client integration provides the authentication mechanism necessary to implement two-factor authentication on NSX Manager.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Active Directory LDAP with ADFS is not the correct prerequisite for NSX 2FA configuration.
- B. VMware Identity Manager must be configured with an OAuth Client, not just added as a Web Application.
- D. Active Directory LDAP with OAuth Client is not the correct integration path; VMware Identity Manager is required.
Question 7
What should an NSX administrator check to verify that VMware Identity Manager integration is successful?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. From the NSX UI the status of the VMware Identity Manager Integration must be “Enabled”.
Manager Integration must be “Enabled”. To verify successful VMware Identity Manager integration with NSX Manager, an administrator checks the NSX UI where the status of the VMware Identity Manager Integration must display as "Enabled". This confirms the integration is active and functional.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. NSX CLI status checks for this integration do not use the term "Configured" as the verification indicator.
- C. VMware Identity Manager's remote access application status is not the correct place to verify NSX Manager integration success.
- D. The URI in the address bar containing "local=false" is not a reliable verification method for integration status.
Question 8
An administrator has been tasked with implementing the SSL certificates for the NSX Manager Cluster VIP.
Which is the correct way to implement this change?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Send an API call to https://<nsx-mgr>/api/vl/cluster/api-certificate? action=set_cluster_certificate&certificate_id=<certificate_id>
https://<nsx-mgr>/api/vl/cluster/api-certificate? action=set_cluster_certificate&certificate_id=<certificate_id> The correct way to implement SSL certificates for the NSX Manager Cluster VIP is by sending an API call to the set_cluster_certificate action endpoint. This API method allows proper certificate deployment across the entire cluster infrastructure.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. The apply_certificate action is used for individual node services, not cluster VIP certificate configuration.
- C. The nsxcli command syntax shown is incorrect; cluster certificate installation does not use this format.
- D. While this command appears closer to correct syntax, the API call method is the proper supported approach for cluster VIP certificate implementation.
Question 9
An administrator wants to validate the BGP connection status between the Tier-0 Gateway and the upstream physical router.
What sequence of commands could be used to check this status on NSX Edge node?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. – get gateways – vrf <number> – get bgp neighbor
The NSX Edge node CLI uses get style commands. You run 'get gateways' to list the service routers and their VRF numbers, enter the correct context with 'vrf <number>', then issue 'get bgp neighbor' to display the peering state with the upstream physical router.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. There is no 'enable' mode on the NSX Edge CLI and BGP state is not retrieved with 'show bgp neighbor'.
- C. The VRF context is entered with the 'vrf' command rather than 'set vrf', and 'show logical-routers' is not valid Edge syntax.
- D. 'show logical-routers' is not a valid NSX Edge command, and a BGP route table listing would not report neighbor adjacency status anyway.
Question 10
What is VMware’s recommendation for the minimum MTU requirements when planning an NSX deployment?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. MTU should be set to 1700 or greater across the data center network including inter-data center connections.
center network including inter-data center connections. VMware recommends a minimum MTU of 1700 bytes or greater for NSX deployments across the entire data center network, including inter-data center connections. This larger MTU accommodates NSX encapsulation overhead, which can add significant bytes to packets, and ensures optimal performance without fragmentation across all network segments.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Limiting MTU to 1500 or less only on inter-data center connections is insufficient; NSX requires higher MTU throughout the entire data center network.
- C. Relying on Path MTU Discovery and fragmentation introduces performance degradation and is not VMware's recommended approach for NSX deployments.
- D. An MTU of 1550 or less does not provide adequate overhead for NSX encapsulation; the recommended minimum is 1700 bytes.
