Select 3You are configuring a new NSX-T Data Center environment for a customer. The customer requires a Layer 2 segment that can be used to connect multiple VMs across different ESXi hosts. The segment must be backed by a transport zone configured for VLAN traffic. Which of the following steps would you take to create this segment?
- A
Navigate to the NSX Manager UI and create a new segment under the Networking section.
- B
Select the appropriate transport zone with VLAN traffic type when creating the segment.
- C
Enable 'DHCP Server' on the segment to provide IP addresses to connected VMs automatically.
- D
Assign a VLAN ID during the segment creation process.
- E
Set the 'Admin State' of the segment to 'Disabled' to ensure it is not used before testing.
