2V0-41.24 Question 290
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with attaching a virtual machine (VM) to a newly created NSX-T segment named 'Web-Tier'. The VM resides in a cluster managed by vCenter Server, and the administrator wants to ensure connectivity while minimizing configuration errors. Which step is necessary to successfully attach the VM to the 'Web-Tier' segment?
- A
Assign the 'Web-Tier' segment to the VM's network adapter in the vSphere Client.
- B
Create a new distributed port group in vCenter and map it to the 'Web-Tier' segment.
- C
Manually add an NSX-T edge node to the VM's distributed switch configuration.
- D
Enable DHCP on the 'Web-Tier' segment before attaching the VM.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To attach a virtual machine to an NSX-T segment, the administrator must select the desired segment ('Web-Tier') for the VM's network adapter during configuration in the vSphere Client. Other steps, such as creating distributed port groups or enabling DHCP, are unnecessary for this task. Understanding the distinction between NSX-T segments and vSphere networking constructs like distributed port groups is crucial for successful VM connectivity in an NSX-T environment.
- A. Correct.
Correct. In the vSphere Client, you can assign an NSX-T segment directly to a VM's network adapter to ensure the VM is connected to the desired segment.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. NSX-T segments are not mapped to distributed port groups; they are independent constructs in NSX-T.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Attaching edge nodes is not required for connecting a VM to an NSX-T segment. Edge nodes are used for services like routing and load balancing.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Enabling DHCP is not a prerequisite for attaching a VM to a segment. DHCP is optional and used for IP address allocation.
