2V0-41.24 Question 292
Single answerAn administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues in a VMware NSX-T environment. They are using the network topology view in the NSX Manager to validate the logical switching configuration for a specific workload. During the validation, they notice that one of the VMs is not receiving traffic as expected. Which step should the administrator take to validate the logical switching configuration using the topology view?
- A
Check if the VM's vNIC is connected to the correct logical switch in the network topology view.
- B
Verify that the T1 gateway is configured with the appropriate static routes for the logical switch.
- C
Inspect the Edge Node placement to ensure the VM is connected to the correct Edge Cluster.
- D
Validate the ARP entries for the VM in the logical switch using the topology view's ARP table.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To validate the logical switching configuration in the network topology view, the administrator should confirm that the VM's vNIC is correctly connected to the intended logical switch. This ensures that the VM is properly assigned to the logical network, allowing traffic to flow as expected. Other options, such as inspecting T1 static routes or Edge Node placement, are unrelated to this specific task.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The network topology view in NSX Manager allows administrators to visually confirm that a VM's vNIC is connected to the correct logical switch, which is a critical first step in troubleshooting logical switching issues.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Static routes on the T1 gateway are not directly related to verifying the logical switching configuration within the topology view. This step is more relevant for routing issues.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The Edge Node placement is related to connectivity for north-south traffic, not for validating the logical switch connectivity of a VM in the topology view.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The topology view does not include an ARP table for logical switches, so this is not a valid troubleshooting step in this context.
