2V0-41.24 Question 175
Select 3An administrator is configuring a VMware NSX-T Data Center environment and needs to ensure that VMs in a specific segment can dynamically receive IP addresses. The segment is configured to use a DHCP server outside the NSX-T environment. What must the administrator configure to ensure the DHCP traffic from the VMs can reach the external DHCP server?
- A
Configure a DHCP relay in the segment profile.
- B
Enable DHCP snooping on the Tier-1 Gateway.
- C
Configure a DHCP relay on the Tier-1 Gateway.
- D
Create a static IP pool for the segment in NSX-T.
- E
Ensure the external DHCP server is reachable from the Tier-1 Gateway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
In this scenario, the VMs in the segment rely on an external DHCP server for IP address assignment. To enable this functionality, the administrator must configure a DHCP relay at the segment level and on the Tier-1 Gateway to forward DHCP requests to the external server. Additionally, the external DHCP server must be reachable from the Tier-1 Gateway to ensure proper communication.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Configuring a DHCP relay in the segment profile ensures that DHCP requests from the VMs are forwarded to the external DHCP server.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. DHCP snooping is a security feature to validate DHCP messages, not to forward them.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Configuring a DHCP relay on the Tier-1 Gateway ensures that the gateway can forward DHCP requests from connected segments to the external server.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A static IP pool is used when NSX-T is handling IP address assignment locally, not when an external DHCP server is involved.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The external DHCP server must be reachable from the Tier-1 Gateway for DHCP traffic to succeed.
