2V0-41.24 Question 271
Select 2An organization plans to deploy VMware NSX and is preparing its infrastructure. The network team needs to ensure that the physical network is ready for NSX deployment. Which two steps should the team take to prepare the physical network for NSX? (Choose two.)
- A
Enable jumbo frames on all transport network paths.
- B
Configure multicast routing on the physical network to support VXLAN.
- C
Ensure that VLANs required for the NSX management, overlay transport, and edge services are configured.
- D
Enable LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) on all physical network switches.
- E
Verify that the physical network supports at least 1 Gbps bandwidth for NSX traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To prepare the physical network for NSX deployment, enabling jumbo frames ensures efficient transport of overlay traffic, and configuring the appropriate VLANs is critical for establishing connectivity between NSX components. These steps are necessary to avoid performance and connectivity issues during and after the deployment of NSX.
- A. Correct.
Enabling jumbo frames (MTU 1600 or higher) is a best practice for NSX to optimize performance and reduce fragmentation on the transport network.
- B. Incorrect.
Multicast routing is not required for NSX as it uses unicast or hybrid multicast for overlay traffic.
- C. Correct.
VLANs for NSX management, overlay transport, and edge services need to be pre-configured to ensure proper connectivity during deployment.
- D. Incorrect.
While LACP can enhance redundancy and performance, it is not a mandatory requirement for NSX deployment.
- E. Incorrect.
Although higher bandwidth is beneficial, NSX does not mandate a 1 Gbps minimum bandwidth for the physical network.
