2V0-41.24 Question 3
Select 3An enterprise is planning to adopt VMware NSX to build a Virtual Cloud Network across its on-premises and public cloud environments. The network team wants to ensure consistent security policies, micro-segmentation, and reduced operational complexity. Which key NSX features should the team leverage to achieve these goals?
- A
Distributed Firewall (DFW) for micro-segmentation and east-west traffic filtering
- B
NSX Edge Gateway for centralized management of all virtual machines
- C
Integration with VMware vRealize Network Insight for visibility and troubleshooting
- D
NSX Federation for managing consistent security policies across multiple sites
- E
NSX Load Balancer for high availability of applications
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To achieve consistent security policies, micro-segmentation, and reduced operational complexity, the enterprise should utilize the Distributed Firewall (DFW) for workload-level security, integrate with vRealize Network Insight for visibility and troubleshooting, and leverage NSX Federation for consistent policy management across their hybrid cloud environment. These features align with the goals of building a secure and efficient Virtual Cloud Network with VMware NSX.
- A. Correct.
The Distributed Firewall (DFW) is a key feature of NSX that enables micro-segmentation and east-west traffic filtering, ensuring security across workloads within the Virtual Cloud Network.
- B. Incorrect.
The NSX Edge Gateway primarily provides north-south networking services like routing and NAT, but it is not specifically used for managing all virtual machines or for micro-segmentation.
- C. Correct.
Integration with VMware vRealize Network Insight allows for enhanced visibility, troubleshooting, and analytics, which are critical for managing Virtual Cloud Networks effectively.
- D. Correct.
NSX Federation enables consistent security and network policies across multiple NSX instances in a multi-site or hybrid cloud environment, aligning with the enterprise’s goal of consistent security policies.
- E. Incorrect.
The NSX Load Balancer is designed to provide application-level load balancing and high availability, but it is not directly related to security policies or micro-segmentation.
