2V0-41.24 Question 58
Select 2A network administrator is designing a VMware NSX-T Data Center environment for a multi-tier application. The application requires three distinct network segments: one for web servers, one for application servers, and one for the database servers. Each segment must provide isolation and traffic control for its respective workload. Which segment types should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
- A
Overlay Segment
- B
VLAN Segment
- C
Gateway Segment
- D
Routed Segment
- E
Multicast Segment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
In VMware NSX-T, Overlay Segments and VLAN Segments are the primary types used to define logical and physical network isolation. Overlay Segments are ideal for creating isolated networks within the virtual environment, while VLAN Segments are used when integration with physical networks or VLAN tagging is needed. These segment types meet the requirements for isolating traffic among the web, application, and database servers in the multi-tier application architecture.
- A. Correct.
Overlay Segments are typically used in NSX environments to create logical networks that provide isolation and scalability. They are suitable for multi-tier applications requiring independent communication paths.
- B. Correct.
VLAN Segments map directly to physical VLANs in the underlying network and can also be used to segment traffic for different tiers when integration with a physical network is required.
- C. Incorrect.
Gateway Segments are not a recognized segment type in NSX-T. This option is incorrect.
- D. Incorrect.
Routed Segments are not a specific segment type in NSX-T. Instead, routing is a function applied to segments, but it does not define the segment itself.
- E. Incorrect.
Multicast Segments are not a valid or recognized segment type in NSX-T. This option is incorrect.
