VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 223
Select 3You are tasked with joining an existing NSX Fabric in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. During the process, you need to add a new Transport Node to the NSX Fabric. Which of the following steps are required to successfully complete this task?
- A
Assign an IP address from the Transport Zone's IP pool to the Transport Node.
- B
Add the new ESXi host to the appropriate NSX Edge Cluster.
- C
Install the NSX VIBs on the ESXi host or workload VM that will act as the Transport Node.
- D
Map the Transport Node to a valid Uplink Profile configured for the Transport Zone.
- E
Configure the new Transport Node to act as a Controller Node for the NSX Manager.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To join an existing NSX Fabric and add a new Transport Node, you must configure the node to integrate with the NSX environment. This involves assigning an IP address from the Transport Zone's pool, installing NSX VIBs to enable the node as a Transport Node, and mapping the node to a valid Uplink Profile for network traffic. Steps like adding the host to an NSX Edge Cluster or configuring it as a Controller Node are unnecessary for this specific task.
- A. Correct.
This step is necessary to ensure the Transport Node can communicate within the Transport Zone. An IP address from the Transport Zone's IP pool is required for data plane traffic.
- B. Incorrect.
Adding the ESXi host to an NSX Edge Cluster is not a requirement for configuring a Transport Node. Edge Clusters are used for services like routing and load balancing.
- C. Correct.
Installing the NSX VIBs is a required step to enable the ESXi host or workload VM to function as a Transport Node within the NSX Fabric.
- D. Correct.
Mapping the Transport Node to a valid Uplink Profile is essential for defining how traffic flows out of the Transport Node to the physical network.
- E. Incorrect.
Configuring a Transport Node as a Controller Node is not a valid configuration step. NSX Controllers are separate components managed by NSX Manager.
