2V0-41.24 Question 182
Select 2An administrator is tasked with configuring DHCP services for a tenant network in an NSX environment. The tenant requires dynamic IP address allocation for virtual machines in a specific subnet, and the administrator decides to use the built-in NSX DHCP service. What steps must the administrator perform to successfully configure DHCP services in NSX?
- A
Create a DHCP server profile and bind it to the Tier-1 Gateway.
- B
Configure a DHCP relay service on the Tier-0 Gateway.
- C
Create a DHCP server IP pool associated with the desired subnet.
- D
Enable the DHCP service on the Edge Transport Node.
- E
Attach the DHCP server profile to the logical switch connected to the subnet.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To configure DHCP services in NSX using the built-in DHCP server, the administrator must create a DHCP server profile and bind it to the Tier-1 Gateway handling the tenant's network. Additionally, the administrator needs to define a DHCP server IP pool to allocate addresses for the specific subnet. Options such as configuring DHCP relay or attaching the profile directly to a logical switch are not applicable in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct: The DHCP server profile must be created and bound to the Tier-1 Gateway in NSX to enable DHCP functionality for the tenant network.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: DHCP relay is used when external DHCP servers are being leveraged, not when the built-in NSX DHCP server is being used.
- C. Correct.
Correct: DHCP server IP pools are required to define the range of IP addresses that can be dynamically allocated to virtual machines in the subnet.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: DHCP services do not need to be manually enabled on the Edge Transport Node when using the built-in NSX DHCP service; this is managed automatically by NSX.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: DHCP server profiles are not attached to logical switches directly. Instead, they are associated with Tier-1 Gateways.
