2V0-41.24 Question 280
Select 3You are tasked with preparing ESXi hosts for a VMware NSX-T Data Center deployment in your environment. The hosts will be used as transport nodes. Which of the following steps must you perform to ensure the ESXi hosts are correctly prepared for NSX-T integration?
- A
Install the NSX-T VIBs on the ESXi hosts.
- B
Enable SSH on the ESXi hosts for NSX-T communication.
- C
Verify that the ESXi hosts are added to a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS).
- D
Configure the ESXi host firewall to allow NSX Manager communication.
- E
Assign an IP address pool for the TEP (Tunnel Endpoint).
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To prepare ESXi hosts for NSX-T integration, you must install the NSX-T VIBs to enable transport node functionality. The hosts must also be connected to a vSphere Distributed Switch (or NSX-T N-VDS) to support transport zones. Additionally, IP address pools are required for the TEPs to manage overlay traffic. Manual SSH configuration and firewall adjustments are not required as these are not prerequisites for NSX-T integration.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Installing NSX-T VIBs on the ESXi hosts is a necessary step to enable the hosts to function as transport nodes and facilitate NSX-T features like distributed routing and switching.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Enabling SSH on ESXi hosts is not a mandatory step for NSX-T integration, though it may be used for troubleshooting purposes.
- C. Correct.
Correct. ESXi hosts must be connected to a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) or N-VDS to enable the creation of transport zones and facilitate NSX-T networking.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While communication between the ESXi hosts and NSX Manager is essential, the ESXi host firewall is configured automatically during NSX-T host preparation, making manual configuration unnecessary.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Assigning an IP address pool for the TEP is required for overlay traffic communication in NSX-T.
