2V0-41.24 Question 174
Single answerAn administrator is configuring a VMware NSX-T Data Center environment and needs to ensure that VM workloads in a specific segment can automatically obtain IP addresses and resolve hostnames. The administrator has already created a DHCP server profile and a DNS configuration in NSX-T. What additional step must the administrator take to ensure the segment can provide both DHCP and DNS functionality to the workloads?
- A
Attach the DHCP server profile to the segment.
- B
Enable DNS forwarding on the segment's gateway.
- C
Add a DNS zone to the segment configuration.
- D
Configure static IP bindings for all workloads on the segment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To enable DHCP and DNS functionality for a segment in NSX-T, the DHCP server profile must be attached to the segment. This allows the DHCP server to provide IP address allocation and DNS information to workloads connected to the segment. Other options, such as DNS forwarding or static IP bindings, are not required for this basic functionality.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Attaching the DHCP server profile to the segment ensures that VMs connected to the segment can receive IP addresses and DNS information dynamically.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. DNS forwarding is configured at the gateway level, but it is not required for basic DHCP and DNS functionality in this scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Adding a DNS zone is not necessary because the DNS configuration has already been created and is used automatically by the DHCP server.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Static IP bindings are not required for workloads to obtain IP addresses dynamically from DHCP.
