2V0-41.24 Question 156
Single answerAn organization has deployed VMware NSX-T Data Center in their environment. They need to enable communication between their existing physical network and a virtual network segment in NSX-T. Which feature should they configure to achieve this connectivity?
- A
Layer 2 bridging using a Bridge Profile in NSX-T
- B
Distributed Firewall rules in NSX-T
- C
Edge Gateway NAT configuration
- D
NSX-T Logical Router configuration
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Layer 2 bridging in NSX-T allows traffic to flow between virtual and physical environments by extending a VLAN to an NSX-T segment using a Bridge Profile. This is essential when an organization needs to maintain seamless communication between legacy systems on the physical network and modern workloads running in the virtualized NSX-T environment.
- A. Correct.
Layer 2 bridging using a Bridge Profile in NSX-T enables communication between the physical network and the virtual network by extending the same Layer 2 segment across both environments. This is the correct solution for the scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
Distributed Firewall rules are used to control traffic flow between virtual machines and segments in NSX-T. However, they do not provide Layer 2 connectivity between physical and virtual networks.
- C. Incorrect.
Edge Gateway NAT is used to perform network address translation for traffic entering or leaving the NSX-T environment. It is not relevant to establishing Layer 2 connectivity.
- D. Incorrect.
NSX-T Logical Router is used to enable routing between different segments or networks but does not provide Layer 2 bridging functionality.
