2V0-41.24 Question 89
Single answerYou are tasked with configuring a new logical network in your NSX-T Data Center deployment. The network must support virtual machine communication within the same subnet and allow you to define specific policies for traffic. Which of the following best describes what you need to create?
- A
A segment, which is a logical switch that connects workloads and defines connectivity.
- B
A segment profile, which specifies policies for traffic management and security.
- C
A distributed port group, which is used to connect virtual machines to a vSphere Distributed Switch.
- D
An edge gateway, which provides north-south connectivity to external networks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Segments in NSX-T Data Center are logical switches that connect workloads on the same subnet and enable communication. They are foundational elements for creating logical networks and can have segment profiles applied to them for policy enforcement. In this scenario, creating a segment is the correct approach to meet the requirements for virtual machine communication within the same subnet.
- A. Correct.
A segment is the correct answer because it is a logical switch in NSX-T that connects workloads and enables communication within the same subnet, fulfilling the scenario's requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
A segment profile is incorrect because it is used to apply specific traffic management or security policies to a segment but is not the entity itself that connects workloads.
- C. Incorrect.
A distributed port group is incorrect because it is part of vSphere Distributed Switches and not relevant to NSX-T segments.
- D. Incorrect.
An edge gateway is incorrect because it provides external connectivity rather than internal workload connectivity within the same subnet.
