Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Preparing an NSX infrastructure for deployment involves ensuring compatibility with the existing vSphere environment and meeting prerequisites. This includes verifying vDS configuration, checking the vCenter version, and confirming that the physical network meets NSX requirements. These steps ensure a smooth and successful deployment process.
- A. Correct.
Correct. A vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) is required for NSX deployment, and its version must be compatible with the version of NSX being installed.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While having two physical NICs per host may be recommended for redundancy, it is not a strict prerequisite for NSX deployment.
- C. Correct.
Correct. The vCenter Server version must meet the minimum requirements for the NSX version being deployed to ensure compatibility.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Hardware and software requirements should be verified before deploying NSX Manager. Deploying NSX Manager prematurely could lead to compatibility issues.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The physical network must support jumbo frames and proper VLAN configurations for NSX traffic, such as overlay and transport VLANs.
