2V0-41.24 Question 51
Single answerAn organization is deploying NSX-T Data Center in their environment. They require a consistent network configuration across multiple ESXi hosts and want to ensure that specific physical NICs are used for overlay traffic. Which feature of uplink profiles is used to achieve this configuration?
- A
Transport VLAN settings
- B
Teamings policies
- C
MTU configuration
- D
Named teaming policies
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Uplink profiles in NSX-T Data Center are templates used to define network settings such as VLANs, MTU, and teaming policies. Teaming policies specifically allow administrators to control how traffic is distributed across physical NICs and ensure consistent NIC usage for overlay or VLAN traffic across multiple ESXi hosts. This is critical for maintaining a uniform and efficient network configuration.
- A. Incorrect.
Transport VLAN settings are used to define VLANs for traffic between transport nodes, but they do not control how specific physical NICs are assigned or used for overlay traffic.
- B. Correct.
Teaming policies in uplink profiles define how physical NICs are assigned and used for specific types of traffic, such as overlay or VLAN traffic, across multiple hosts. This ensures a consistent configuration and is the correct answer.
- C. Incorrect.
MTU configuration in an uplink profile defines the maximum transmission unit size for packets. While important for network performance, it does not ensure specific NIC assignments for overlay traffic.
- D. Incorrect.
Named teaming policies are not a feature within NSX-T uplink profiles. The correct terminology is 'teaming policies,' which handle physical NIC assignments.
