2V0-41.24 Question 390
Select 3Your organization is setting up a secure site-to-site communication between your on-premises datacenter and a remote branch office using VMware NSX. You are tasked with creating an IPSec VPN service in NSX. Which of the following steps are required to successfully configure the IPSec VPN service?
- A
Configure a local endpoint and select the appropriate edge appliance.
- B
Enable DHCP on the NSX Edge appliance to allocate IP addresses for VPN clients.
- C
Define the IPSec Tunnel configurations, including remote and local subnets.
- D
Set up the encryption and authentication protocols for the IPSec service.
- E
Create a distributed firewall rule to block all traffic over the VPN tunnel.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To create an IPSec VPN service in VMware NSX, you need to configure the local endpoint (selecting the NSX Edge appliance), define the IPSec tunnel parameters (including local and remote subnets), and configure encryption and authentication protocols. These steps ensure secure communication between the sites. DHCP and firewall rules blocking traffic are not relevant to setting up the IPSec VPN service.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Configuring a local endpoint is necessary to establish the IPSec VPN connection. You also need to assign the appropriate NSX Edge appliance as the endpoint for the connection.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: DHCP is not required for IPSec VPN configuration, as the VPN service establishes connectivity based on predefined subnets, not dynamically assigned IP addresses.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Defining the IPSec Tunnel configurations, including specifying the local and remote subnets, is a critical step in setting up the VPN.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Encryption and authentication protocols must be configured to secure the communication between the sites.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: A distributed firewall rule blocking all traffic would prevent any communication over the VPN tunnel, defeating the purpose of the connection.
