2V0-41.24 Question 277
Select 3You are tasked with creating an IP Pool in your NSX-T environment to support a new application deployment. The application requires an IP Pool for dynamic IP assignment in a specific subnet (192.168.10.0/24). Additionally, certain IP addresses in this subnet (192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.10) must be excluded from assignment as they are reserved for network infrastructure devices. Which of the following steps should you take to correctly configure the IP Pool?
- A
Define the subnet range as 192.168.10.0/24 and exclude the IP range 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.10.
- B
Set the IP Pool gateway to 192.168.10.1 and exclude 192.168.10.1 from the Pool.
- C
Specify the subnet mask as /24 and exclude the IP range 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.10.
- D
Include the IP range 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.10 in the IP Pool configuration without exclusions.
- E
Configure the IP Pool with a DNS server and exclude the IP range 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.10.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To correctly configure an IP Pool in NSX-T, you must define the appropriate subnet range, specify the subnet mask (/24 in this case), and exclude any reserved IP addresses to avoid conflicts. Additionally, including DNS server information in the IP Pool configuration is considered a best practice to enable proper name resolution for dynamically assigned IPs. Failing to exclude the reserved IP range or including it without exclusions would lead to conflicts with network infrastructure devices.
- A. Correct.
Correct: This step ensures the correct subnet range is defined and the reserved IP addresses are excluded from dynamic allocation.
- B. Incorrect.
Partially correct but incomplete: Setting the gateway is important, but excluding the gateway IP alone isn't sufficient to meet the requirements.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Specifying the subnet mask ensures the IP Pool is properly scoped, and excluding the reserved IP range prevents conflicts.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Including the reserved IP range in the Pool configuration without exclusions would result in potential conflicts with network infrastructure devices.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Adding DNS server information is a best practice for IP Pool configurations, and excluding the reserved IP range ensures compliance with the requirements.
