2V0-41.24 Question 273
Single answerYou are tasked with configuring a transport zone for a software-defined data center (SDDC) using VMware NSX-T Data Center. The environment requires workload VMs to communicate across multiple ESXi hosts in the same cluster and across clusters. Which type of transport zone should you create to meet this requirement?
- A
Overlay Transport Zone
- B
VLAN Transport Zone
- C
L3 Transport Zone
- D
Universal Transport Zone
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To enable communication across multiple ESXi hosts and clusters, Overlay Transport Zones in NSX-T Data Center utilize a tunneling protocol such as GENEVE. This allows workloads to communicate seamlessly, regardless of the underlying physical network topology. VLAN Transport Zones, on the other hand, are limited to VLAN-backed networks and are not suitable for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Overlay Transport Zones are used to enable communication across multiple ESXi hosts and clusters using tunneling protocols such as GENEVE. This meets the requirement for workload VMs to communicate across clusters.
- B. Incorrect.
VLAN Transport Zones are limited to VLAN-backed networks and do not support communication across multiple clusters unless explicitly extended. Thus, they do not meet the requirement.
- C. Incorrect.
L3 Transport Zone is not a valid transport zone type in NSX-T Data Center. It is a distractor.
- D. Incorrect.
Universal Transport Zones were used in NSX-V but are not applicable to NSX-T Data Center. This is an outdated concept and does not meet the requirement.
