2V0-21.23 Question 291
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with configuring a Supervisor Cluster to enable Kubernetes workloads in their vSphere environment. The environment includes a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) and a compatible storage solution. During the configuration, the administrator needs to ensure the networking is properly set up for workload management. Which step is necessary to successfully configure the Supervisor Cluster?
- A
Assign a dedicated VLAN for the management and workload traffic
- B
Enable DRS in partially automated mode for the cluster
- C
Configure NSX-T Data Center for networking
- D
Create a dedicated datastore with vSAN for Kubernetes workloads
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When configuring a Supervisor Cluster, proper networking setup is essential for function. Assigning a dedicated VLAN for management and workload traffic ensures network isolation and compliance with VMware's best practices. While other options like NSX-T or vSAN may enhance the environment, they are not mandatory for Supervisor Cluster configuration. The correct answer ensures the basic requirements of a Supervisor Cluster are met.
- A. Correct.
Assigning a dedicated VLAN for management and workload traffic is a requirement when configuring a Supervisor Cluster to ensure proper network segmentation for management, control plane, and workload network traffic.
- B. Incorrect.
While DRS is a general requirement for vSphere clusters, it does not specifically need to be in partially automated mode for configuring a Supervisor Cluster.
- C. Incorrect.
NSX-T Data Center is one option for networking, but it is not mandatory. vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) is also supported for Supervisor Cluster networking.
- D. Incorrect.
vSAN is not a mandatory requirement for Supervisor Cluster setup. Any compatible shared storage can be used, and a dedicated datastore is not always necessary.
