VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 231
Select 3You are configuring a DHCP server for an NSX Segment in your VMware Cloud Foundation environment. After creating the DHCP profile in NSX Manager, which actions must you perform to ensure that the DHCP service is properly configured and operational on the segment?
- A
Assign the DHCP profile to the NSX Segment where IP address assignment is required.
- B
Enable DHCP relay on the NSX Segment and specify the external DHCP server details.
- C
Verify that the Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway connected to the NSX Segment has DHCP service enabled.
- D
Configure a static IP pool for the NSX Segment to allocate IP addresses manually.
- E
Ensure that the DHCP profile is associated with the appropriate Edge Node Cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To configure a DHCP server for an NSX Segment in VMware Cloud Foundation, you must assign the DHCP profile to the segment, ensure that the connected Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway has DHCP service enabled, and verify that the DHCP profile is associated with the correct Edge Node Cluster. These actions ensure that DHCP services are operational and properly configured for dynamic IP address assignment on the segment. DHCP relay and static IP pools are not relevant in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Assigning the DHCP profile to the NSX Segment ensures that DHCP services are applied to the segment where IP address assignment is required.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: DHCP relay is used to forward requests to an external DHCP server, which is not relevant when using an NSX-enabled DHCP server.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway connected to the NSX Segment must have DHCP service enabled for IP address allocation to function.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Configuring a static IP pool is not required for DHCP-based IP address allocation, as the DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Associating the DHCP profile with the appropriate Edge Node Cluster ensures that the DHCP service is available and operational on the segment.
