2V0-41.24 Question 88
Single answerYou are tasked with configuring a new logical network in VMware NSX-T. The network needs to support Layer 2 communication for multiple virtual machines within a single virtualized environment while being isolated from other networks. Which NSX-T construct would you use to achieve this requirement?
- A
A segment
- B
A segment profile
- C
A Tier-0 Gateway
- D
A Distributed Firewall
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In NSX-T, a segment is the logical network construct that provides Layer 2 connectivity for virtual machines. It enables isolated communication within the same logical network, meeting the requirement specified in the scenario. Other options, such as segment profiles, Tier-0 Gateways, and Distributed Firewalls, serve different purposes in the NSX-T ecosystem and are not designed to create logical Layer 2 networks.
- A. Correct.
A segment is a logical switch in NSX-T that provides Layer 2 connectivity and network isolation. It is the correct construct to configure a logical network in this scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
A segment profile is used to apply specific policies or configurations (such as QoS or security) to a segment but does not provide Layer 2 connectivity itself.
- C. Incorrect.
A Tier-0 Gateway is used for north-south traffic routing between the NSX-T environment and external networks. It is not used to create an isolated logical network within NSX-T.
- D. Incorrect.
A Distributed Firewall is used for applying security policies and firewall rules but does not provide Layer 2 connectivity or create logical networks.
