2V0-41.24 Question 288
Single answerA network administrator is tasked with attaching multiple VMs to an NSX-T Data Center segment named 'WebApp-Segment'. The VMs reside on different ESXi hosts managed by a single vCenter Server. After creating the segment in NSX Manager, the administrator notices that the VMs are not communicating with each other. What step should the administrator take to ensure successful VM communication on the segment?
- A
Manually assign the segment to each VM's network adapter in vSphere.
- B
Enable VLAN tagging on the 'WebApp-Segment' within NSX Manager.
- C
Attach the segment to the physical uplink of each ESXi host.
- D
Verify that the segment is connected to a Tier-1 gateway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To attach VMs to an NSX segment, each VM's network adapter must be explicitly connected to the desired segment in vSphere. Failing to do so will prevent the VMs from being part of the same logical network, resulting in communication issues. Other options either address unrelated configurations or are unnecessary for VM-to-VM communication within the same segment.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Assigning the segment to each VM's network adapter ensures the VMs are logically connected to the same segment, enabling communication.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: VLAN tagging is not required within NSX logical segments, as they are abstracted from VLAN configurations.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: NSX segments are logical constructs and do not require attachment to physical uplinks for VM-to-VM communication within the same segment.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: A Tier-1 gateway is required for external connectivity, not for VM-to-VM communication within the same segment.
