2V0-41.24 Question 181
Single answerAn organization is deploying NSX in their environment and needs to configure DHCP services for a specific logical segment. They want to ensure that the NSX Edge Appliance provides DHCP services to VMs on this segment. Which action is required to achieve this?
- A
Enable DHCP relay on the logical segment and configure an external DHCP server.
- B
Deploy a DHCP server in the VM workload and configure it manually on the segment.
- C
Configure a DHCP server profile on the NSX Edge and assign it to the logical segment.
- D
Enable DHCP service directly on the logical segment in the NSX Manager.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To provide DHCP services to VMs on a specific logical segment, NSX Edge must be configured with a DHCP server profile. This profile is then associated with the logical segment to ensure DHCP services are provided directly by NSX Edge. The other options either refer to external DHCP solutions or approaches that do not utilize the built-in NSX Edge DHCP capabilities.
- A. Incorrect.
This option configures a DHCP relay, which forwards DHCP requests to an external DHCP server. However, this does not enable NSX Edge to act as a DHCP server, making it incorrect for this scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
While deploying a manual DHCP service in a VM is possible, this approach does not leverage NSX Edge's built-in DHCP functionality, making it incorrect for the requirement.
- C. Correct.
This is the correct option as it involves configuring a DHCP server profile on the NSX Edge and associating it with the logical segment, enabling NSX Edge to provide DHCP services to the VMs.
- D. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because DHCP services are not enabled directly on the logical segment in NSX. Instead, it requires configuring DHCP profiles on NSX Edge.
