2V0-41.24 Question 289
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with connecting a new virtual machine (VM) to an existing NSX segment for application traffic. The administrator has verified that the VM is powered on and visible in the vSphere inventory. What is the next step required to attach the VM to the segment?
- A
Edit the VM's network adapter settings in vSphere and select the desired NSX segment.
- B
Manually configure the NSX Edge Gateway to route traffic for the VM.
- C
Enable Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules for the NSX segment.
- D
Add the VM's MAC address to the segment configuration in the NSX Manager.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To attach a VM to an NSX segment, the administrator must ensure that the VM's network adapter is configured to use the specific NSX segment. This step is performed in the VM settings within the vSphere Client. The other options either describe unrelated configurations or steps that are not required for this specific task.
- A. Correct.
Correct: To attach a VM to an NSX segment, the network adapter settings of the VM must be configured in vSphere to select the desired NSX segment.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Configuring the NSX Edge Gateway is not required for attaching a VM to a segment. The Edge Gateway is typically used for north-south traffic routing, not for connecting VMs to segments.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While enabling Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules is important for security, it is not a step required to attach a VM to an NSX segment.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Adding the VM's MAC address to the segment configuration is not a valid method for attaching a VM to a segment. NSX manages this association automatically when the VM's network adapter is configured.
