Select 3You are tasked with configuring a DHCP server for an NSX segment in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. Which steps are required to successfully configure a DHCP server for the NSX segment?
- A
Create a DHCP profile in the NSX Manager and associate it with the segment
- B
Enable DHCP relay on the NSX segment and configure relay server details
- C
Enable the DHCP server on the NSX Edge node and associate it with the segment
- D
Configure static IP pools on the NSX segment to enable IP address assignment
- E
Verify that the DHCP service is running in the NSX Manager under Networking Services
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
To configure a DHCP server for an NSX segment, you must create a DHCP profile in NSX Manager and associate it with the segment. If the DHCP server is external, enabling DHCP relay and configuring relay server details is necessary. Verifying the DHCP service ensures it is operational. Direct configuration on NSX Edge nodes or using static IP pools are not part of the DHCP server configuration process.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. A DHCP profile must be created and associated with the NSX segment to enable dynamic IP address assignment.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. DHCP relay must be enabled on the NSX segment if the DHCP server is not local to the segment.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. While NSX Edge nodes can provide routing and NAT, the DHCP server functionality is configured through NSX Manager, not directly on the Edge node.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Static IP pools are used for manual IP assignment and are not part of DHCP server configuration.
- E. Correct.
This is correct. Verifying that the DHCP service is running ensures that the DHCP server is operational and can assign IP addresses.
