VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 224
Select 3You are tasked with joining a newly deployed ESXi host to an existing NSX-T Data Center fabric in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. Which steps must you perform to ensure the host is successfully added to the NSX fabric?
- A
Install the NSX-T VIBs on the ESXi host.
- B
Add the ESXi host to the NSX Manager inventory.
- C
Deploy a separate NSX-T Manager appliance on the new host.
- D
Create a Transport Node profile and apply it to the host.
- E
Add the ESXi host to a distributed switch managed by NSX-T.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To join an ESXi host to an existing NSX-T fabric, the NSX-T VIBs must be installed on the host, the host must be added to the NSX Manager inventory, and it must be configured as a Transport Node using a Transport Node profile. These steps ensure the host is fully integrated into the NSX-T environment and can participate in overlay networking and other NSX-T features. Deploying a new NSX-T Manager or adding the host to a distributed switch is not required for this integration.
- A. Correct.
Installing the NSX-T VIBs (vSphere Installation Bundles) on the ESXi host is required to enable the host to communicate with the NSX-T environment and participate in the NSX fabric.
- B. Correct.
Adding the ESXi host to the NSX Manager inventory is a crucial step to integrate the host into the NSX-T fabric and establish communication with NSX components.
- C. Incorrect.
Deploying a separate NSX-T Manager appliance on the new host is unnecessary as the existing NSX Manager in the environment is sufficient to manage the new host.
- D. Correct.
Creating a Transport Node profile and applying it to the host configures the host to communicate with NSX overlay and VLAN segments, which is essential for NSX-T operations.
- E. Incorrect.
Adding the ESXi host to a distributed switch is not required because the NSX-T fabric uses its own constructs (such as Transport Zones and Transport Nodes) to manage network traffic.
