2V0-41.24 Question 286
Single answerYou are tasked with creating a new segment in an NSX-T Data Center environment to isolate traffic for a new application. The segment must support communication between VMs in the same segment while being isolated from other segments. Which configuration step is essential to ensure this functionality?
- A
Assign a VLAN ID to the segment
- B
Enable 'Admin State' for the segment
- C
Assign a Gateway CIDR to the segment
- D
Set the segment to 'Routed' mode
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To ensure communication between VMs in the same segment while keeping the segment isolated from others, the segment must be operational. Enabling the 'Admin State' is the essential step to activate the segment and allow it to function as intended. Other options, such as assigning a VLAN ID or a Gateway CIDR, are specific to additional use cases and are not directly required for basic intra-segment communication.
- A. Incorrect.
Assigning a VLAN ID is necessary only for VLAN-backed segments and does not directly ensure communication between VMs or segment isolation.
- B. Correct.
Enabling 'Admin State' for the segment activates the segment, ensuring it is operational and allows VMs within the segment to communicate with each other.
- C. Incorrect.
Assigning a Gateway CIDR is required for routing traffic to external networks, but it is not essential for enabling VM communication within the segment itself.
- D. Incorrect.
Setting the segment to 'Routed' mode is only necessary for segments that need to connect to external networks or other segments, not for isolated intra-segment communication.
