2V0-41.24 Question 56
Single answerAn organization is deploying VMware NSX-T Data Center and needs to create an isolated network for a new application. The application requires Layer 2 connectivity for its components to communicate, and the network must support advanced features like security policies and traffic isolation. Which function of NSX segments makes this possible?
- A
Provide Layer 2 connectivity and support for advanced networking features like security policies.
- B
Enable dynamic routing between different networks using distributed routers.
- C
Facilitate integration with external physical switches for VLAN tagging.
- D
Offer centralized management of physical network devices in the data center.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
NSX segments are virtual Layer 2 networks that enable advanced features like traffic isolation, micro-segmentation, and security policies. They are designed to meet the needs of isolated application communication within a software-defined data center. This aligns with the scenario's requirement for Layer 2 connectivity and traffic isolation.
- A. Correct.
NSX segments provide virtual Layer 2 networks (or logical switches) with advanced features like traffic isolation, security policies, and micro-segmentation, making them ideal for isolated application communication.
- B. Incorrect.
Dynamic routing is a function of NSX Tier-0 or Tier-1 routers, not NSX segments. Segments operate at Layer 2.
- C. Incorrect.
While NSX segments can connect to VLANs for external integration, their primary function is to provide logical Layer 2 connectivity, not VLAN tagging on external switches.
- D. Incorrect.
NSX segments are not used for managing physical network devices; they are virtual constructs providing logical Layer 2 networks.
