- A
Deploy the NSX Manager appliance and register it with vCenter Server.
- B
Install NSX Guest Introspection services on all ESXi hosts.
- C
Prepare ESXi hosts by installing NSX kernel modules via the NSX Manager.
- D
Create Transport Zones and configure Uplink Profiles.
- E
Deploy Edge Nodes and configure them to provide north-south routing.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D, E
Explanation
To deploy the NSX infrastructure in a greenfield environment, administrators must follow a structured workflow. This includes deploying the NSX Manager, preparing ESXi hosts by installing NSX kernel modules, creating Transport Zones for logical networking, and deploying Edge Nodes to enable north-south routing. Guest Introspection services are not part of the core NSX deployment workflow and are only required for specific use cases.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Deploying the NSX Manager appliance and registering it with vCenter Server is the first step in any NSX deployment as it acts as the central management plane for the NSX environment.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Guest Introspection services are optional and typically deployed for use cases like antivirus or compliance monitoring, but they are not a mandatory step in the initial NSX infrastructure deployment workflow.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Preparing ESXi hosts by installing NSX kernel modules is a critical step to enable the hosts to participate in the NSX virtualized network.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Creating Transport Zones and configuring Uplink Profiles is essential for defining the logical network topology and ensuring the proper connectivity of the NSX environment.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Deploying Edge Nodes and configuring them for north-south routing is required to provide external connectivity for the virtualized network.
