2V0-41.24 Question 278
Select 3An organization is configuring an IP pool in an NSX-T Data Center environment to assign IP addresses to VMs for a new application. The IP range must exclude certain addresses that are already in use by physical devices. Additionally, the administrator wants to ensure that the pool can dynamically provide IP addresses to other workloads in the future. Which configuration steps should the administrator take while creating the IP pool?
- A
Define the IP pool range by specifying the starting and ending IP addresses.
- B
Configure static IP reservations for the addresses already in use by physical devices.
- C
Enable DHCP for the IP pool to allow dynamic IP assignment to workloads.
- D
Set the IP pool size limit to prevent it from exceeding the subnet requirements.
- E
Configure DNS servers to be assigned to VMs using this IP pool.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To create an IP pool in NSX-T Data Center that meets the requirements of the scenario, the administrator must define the IP range, exclude certain IPs in use with static reservations, and enable DHCP for dynamic IP assignment. These steps ensure proper IP address allocation while avoiding conflicts and supporting future scalability.
- A. Correct.
Defining the IP pool range is a required step to specify the range of IP addresses that can be allocated to workloads.
- B. Correct.
Configuring static IP reservations ensures that addresses already in use by physical devices are excluded from the IP pool, preventing conflicts.
- C. Correct.
Enabling DHCP allows the IP pool to dynamically assign IP addresses to workloads, which is essential for future scalability.
- D. Incorrect.
Setting an IP pool size limit is not required as IP pool limits are generally determined by the subnet mask, and this step is not relevant to the given scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
Configuring DNS servers is an optional step and not directly related to the creation of the IP pool or the requirements outlined in the scenario.
