2V0-41.24 Question 348
Select 3You are tasked with deploying a VMware NSX-T Data Center environment for a customer. During the deployment process, you need to create an uplink trunk segment to connect the NSX Edge nodes to the physical network. Which steps should you take to successfully create the uplink trunk segment in the NSX Manager?
- A
Assign a VLAN ID or range for the uplink trunk segment.
- B
Configure the uplink trunk segment to use an IP address from the TEP pool.
- C
Associate the uplink trunk segment with a transport zone of type 'Overlay'.
- D
Select the physical NICs on the NSX Edge nodes that will be used for the uplink trunk segment.
- E
Specify the transport zone of type 'VLAN' for the uplink trunk segment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D, E
Explanation
To successfully create an uplink trunk segment, you must assign a VLAN ID or range to ensure traffic is properly tagged, associate the segment with a VLAN transport zone since it connects NSX to the physical network, and select the physical NICs on the NSX Edge nodes for connectivity. Overlay transport zones and TEP IP addresses are unrelated to uplink trunk segments, as they are used for overlay networking.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Assigning a VLAN ID or range is required to tag traffic for the uplink trunk segment, ensuring proper identification on the physical network.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The uplink trunk segment does not use an IP address from the Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) pool. TEPs are used for overlay communication, not uplink trunking.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Uplink trunk segments are associated with VLAN transport zones, not Overlay transport zones, as they are used to connect to physical networks.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Selecting the physical NICs for the uplink trunk segment is necessary to ensure proper connectivity between NSX Edge nodes and the physical network.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Uplink trunk segments must be associated with a VLAN transport zone because they connect NSX components to the physical network, which uses VLANs.
