NEW QUESTION 1
Which three protocols could an NSX administrator use to transfer log messages to a remote log server? (Choose three.)

• A. HTTPS
• B. TCP
• C. SSH
• D. UDP
• E. TLS
• F. SSL

Answer: BDE

Explanation:
An NSX administrator can use TCP, UDP, or TLS protocols to transfer log messages to a remote log server. These protocols are supported by NSX Manager, NSX Edge, and hypervisors for remote logging. A Log Insight log server supports all these protocols, as well as LI and LI-TLS, which are specific to Log Insight and optimize network usage. HTTPS, SSH, and SSL are not valid protocols for remote logging in NSX-T Data Center. References: : VMware NSX-T Data Center Administration Guide, page 102. : VMware Docs: Configure Remote Logging

NEW QUESTION 2
When deploying an NSX Edge Transport Node, what two valid IP address assignment options should be specified for the TEP IP addresses? (Choose two.)

• A. Use an IP Pool
• B. Use a DHCP Server
• C. Use RADIUS
• D. Use a Static IP List
• E. Use BootP

Answer: AD

Explanation:
When deploying an NSX Edge Transport Node, two valid IP address assignment options that should be specified for the TEP IP addresses are Use an IP Pool and Use a Static IP List. These options allow the u assign TEP IP addresses from a predefined range of IP addresses or a manually entered list of IP addresses, respectively345. The other options are incorrect because they are not supported methods for assigning TEP IP addresses. There is no option to use a DHCP server, RADIUS, or BootP for TEP IP address assignment in NSX-T345.

NEW QUESTION 3
Which two statements describe the characteristics of an Edge Cluster in NSX? (Choose two.)

• A. Can have a maximum of 8 edge nodes
• B. Can have a maximum of 10 edge nodes
• C. Must have only active-active edge nodes
• D. Can contain multiple types of edge nodes (VM or bare metal)
• E. Must contain only one type of edge nodes (VM or bare metal)

Answer: AE

Explanation:
Two statements that describe the characteristics of an Edge Cluster in NSX are:
An Edge Cluster can have a maximum of 8 edge nodes2. This is the upper limit for scaling out the Edge Cluster and providing high availability and load balancing for network services.
An Edge Cluster must contain only one type of edge nodes (VM or bare metal)3. This is because different types of edge nodes have different performance and resource requirements, and mixing them in the same cluster can cause inconsistency and instability. The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the characteristics of an Edge Cluster in NSX. An Edge Cluster can have either
active-active or active-standby edge nodes, depending on the configuration and services4. An Edge Cluster cannot contain multiple types of edge nodes, as explained above.

Which CLI command on NSX Manager and NSX Edge is used to change NTP settings?

• A. get timezone
• B. get time-server
• C. set timezone
• D. set ntp-server

Answer: D

Explanation:
The CLI command on NSX Manager and NSX Edge that is used to change NTP settings is set ntp-server. Th command allows the user to configure one or more NTP servers for time synchronization12. The other options are incorrect because they are not valid CLI commands for changing NTP settings. The get timezone and timezone commands are used to display and configure the timezone of the system1. The get
time-server command is used to display the current time server configuration1. There are no CLI commands for using RADIUS or BootP for NTP settings. References: NSX-T Command-Line Interface

NEW QUESTION 6
What must be configured on Transport Nodes for encapsulation and decapsulation of Geneve protocol?

• A. VXIAN
• B. UDP
• C. STT
• D. TEP

Answer: D

Explanation:
According to the VMware NSX Documentation, TEP stands for Tunnel End Point and is a logical interface that must be configured on transport nodes for encapsulation and decapsulation of Geneve protocol. Geneve is a tunneling protocol that encapsulates the original packet with an outer header that contains metadata such as the virtual network identifier (VNI) and the transport node IP address. TEPs are responsible for adding and removing the Geneve header as the packet traverses the overlay network.

NEW QUESTION 7

• A. All nodes must be in separate subnets.
• B. The cluster configuration must be completed using API.
• C. NSX Manager must reside on a Windows Server.
• D. All nodes must be in the same subnet.
• E. A compute manager must be configured.

Answer: DE

Explanation:
According to the VMware NSX Documentation, these are the prerequisites for adding nodes to an NSX Management Cluster using the NSX UI:
All nodes must be in the same subnet and have IP connectivity with each other.
A compute manager must be configured and associated with the NSX Manager node.
The NSX Manager node must have a valid license.
The NSX Manager node must have a valid certificate.

NEW QUESTION 8
Which TraceFlow traffic type should an NSX administrator use tor validating connectivity between App and DB virtual machines that reside on different segments?

• A. Multicast
• B. Unicast
• C. Anycast
• D. Broadcast

Answer: B

Explanation:
Unicast is the traffic type that an NSX administrator should use for validating connectivity between App and DB virtual machines that reside on different segments. According to the VMware documentation1, unicast traffic is the traffic type that is used to send a packet from one source to one destination. Unicast traffic is the most common type of traffic in a network, and it is used for applications such as web browsing, email, file transfer, and so on2. To perform a traceflow with unicast traffic, the NSX administrator needs to specify the source and destination IP addresses, and optionally the protocol and related parameters1. The traceflow will show the path of the packet across the network and any observations or errors along the way3. The other options are incorrect because they are not suitable for validating connectivity between two specific virtual machines. Multicast traffic is the traffic type that is used to send a packet from one source to multiple destinations simultaneously2. Multicast traffic is used for applications such as video streaming, online gaming and group communication4. To perform a traceflow with multicast traffic, the NSX administrator needs to specify the source IP address and the destination multicast IP address1. Broadcast traffic is the traffic type that is used to send a packet from one source to all devices on the same subnet2. Broadcast traffic is used for applications such as ARP, DHCP, and network discovery. To perform a traceflow with broadcast traffic, the NSX administrator needs to specify the source IP address and the destination MAC address as FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF1. Anycast traffic is not a valid option, as it is not supported by NSX Traceflow. Anycast traffic is a traffic type that is used to send a packet from one source to the nearest or best destination among a group of devices that share the same IP address. Anycast traffic is used for applications such as DNS, CDN, and load balancing.

NEW QUESTION 9
Which command is used to set the NSX Manager's logging-level to debug mode for troubleshooting?

• A. Set service manager log-level debug
• B. Set service manager logging-level debug
• C. Set service nsx-manager log-level debug
• D. Set service nsx-manager logging-level debug

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to the VMware Knowledge Base article 1, the CLI command to set the log level of the NSX Manager to debug mode is set service manager logging-level debug. This command can be used when the NSX UI is inaccessible or when troubleshooting issues with the NSX Manager1. The other commands are incorrect because they either use a wrong syntax or a wrong service name. The NSX Manager service name is manager, not nsx-manager2. The log level parameter is logging-level, not log-level3.

NEW QUESTION 10
Which three of the following describe the Border Gateway Routing Protocol (BGP) configuration on a Tier-0 Gateway? (Choose three.)

• A. Can be used as an Exterior Gateway Protocol.
• B. It supports a 4-byte autonomous system number.
• C. The network is divided into areas that are logical groups.
• D. EIGRP Is disabled by default.
• E. BGP is enabled by default.

Answer: ABD

Explanation:
* A. Can be used as an Exterior Gateway Protocol. This is correct. BGP is a protocol that can be used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS). An AS is a network or a group of networks under a single administrative control. BGP can be used as an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) to connect an AS to other ASes on the internet or other external networks1
* B. It supports a 4-byte autonomous system number. This is correct. BGP supports both 2-byte and 4-byte AS numbers. A 2-byte AS number can range from 1 to 65535, while a 4-byte AS number can range from 65536 to 4294967295. NSX supports both 2-byte and 4-byte AS numbers for BGP configuration on a Tier-0 Gateway2
* C. The network is divided into areas that are logical groups. This is incorrect. This statement describes OSPF, not BGP. OSPF is another routing protocol that operates within a single AS and divides the network into areas to reduce routing overhead and improve scalability. BGP does not use the concept of areas, but rather uses attributes, policies, and filters to control the routing decisions and traffic flow3
* D. FIGRP Is disabled by default. This is correct. FIGRP stands for Fast Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, which is an enhanced version of IGRP, an obsolete routing protocol developed by Cisco. FIGRP is not supported by NSX and is disabled by default on a Tier-0 Gateway.
* E. BGP is enabled by default. This is incorrect. BGP is not enabled by default on a Tier-0 Gateway. To enable BGP, you need to configure the local AS number and the BGP neighbors on the Tier-0 Gateway using the NSX Manager UI or API.
To learn more about BGP configuration on a Tier-0 Gateway in NSX, you can refer to the following resources:

• B. excli network nic list
• C. esxcli network vswitch dvs wmare list
• D. esxcfg-vmknic -1
• E. esxcfg-vmsvc/get.network

Answer: AB

Explanation:
esxcfg-nics -l and esxcli network nic list are two CLI commands that can be used to see the vmnic link status on an ESXi host. Both commands display information such as the vmnic name, driver, link state, speed, and duplex mode. The link state can be either Up or Down, indicating whether the vmnic is connected or not. For example, the output of esxcfg-nics -l can look like this:

NEW QUESTION 12
Sort the rule processing steps of the Distributed Firewall. Order responses from left to right.

• A. Yes
• B. Not Mastered

Answer: A

NEW QUESTION 13
A security administrator needs to configure a firewall rule based on the domain name of a specific application. Which field in a distributed firewall rule does the administrator configure?

• A. Profile
• B. Service
• C. Policy
• D. Source

Answer: A

Explanation:
To configure a firewall rule based on the domain name of a specific application, the administrator needs to use the Profile field in a distributed firewall rule. The Profile field allows the administrator to select a context profile that contains one or more attributes for filtering traffic. One of the attributes that can be used is Domain (FQDN) Name, which specifies the fully qualified domain name of the application. For example, if the administrator wants to filter traffic to *.office365.com, they can create a context profile with the Domain (FQDN) Name attribute set to *.office365.com and use it in the Profile field of the firewall rule.

NEW QUESTION 14
Which of the following settings must be configured in an NSX environment before enabling stateful active-active SNAT?

• A. Tier-1 gateway in active-standby mode
• B. Tier-1 gateway in distributed only mode
• C. An Interface Group for the NSX Edge uplinks
• D. A Punting Traffic Group for the NSX Edge uplinks

Answer: C

Explanation:
To enable stateful active-active SNAT on a Tier-0 or Tier-1 gateway, you must configure an Interface Group for the NSX Edge uplinks. An Interface Group is a logical grouping of NSX Edge interfaces that belong to the same failure domain. A failure domain is a set of NSX Edge nodes that share the same physical network infrastructure and are subject to the same network failures. By configuring an Interface Group, you can ensure that the stateful services are distributed across different failure domains and can recover from network failures1

NEW QUESTION 18
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator would like to change the private IP address of the NAT VM I72.l6.101.il to a public address of 80.80.80.1 as the packets leave the NAT-Segment network.
Which type of NAT solution should be implemented to achieve this?

• A. DNAT
• B. SNAT
• C. Reflexive NAT
• D. NAT64

Answer: B

Explanation:
SNAT stands for Source Network Address Translation. It is a type of NAT that translates the source IP address of outgoing packets from a private address to a public address. SNAT is used to allow hosts in a private network to access the internet or other public networks1
In the exhibit, the administrator wants to change the private IP address of the NAT VM 172.16.101.11 to a public address of 80.80.80.1 as the packets leave the NAT-Segment network. This is an example of SNAT, as the source IP address is modified before the packets are sent to an external network.
According to the VMware NSX 4.x Professional Exam Guide, SNAT is one of the topics covered in the exam objectives2
To learn more about SNAT and how to configure it in VMware NSX, you can refer to the following resources: VMware NSX Documentation: NAT 3
VMware NSX 4.x Professional: NAT Configuration 4
VMware NSX 4.x Professional: NAT Troubleshooting 5

NEW QUESTION 19
Where in the NSX UI would an administrator set the time attribute for a time-based Gateway Firewall rule?

• A. The option to set time-based rule is a clock Icon in the rule.
• B. The option to set time based rule is a field in the rule Itself.
• C. There Is no option in the NSX U
• D. It must be done via command line interface.
• E. The option to set time-based rule is a clock Icon in the policy.

Answer: D

Explanation:
According to the VMware documentation1, the clock icon appears on the firewall policy section that you want to have a time window. By clicking the clock icon, you can create or select a time window that applies to all the rules in that policy section. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist or are not related to the time-based rule feature. There is no option to set a time-based rule in the rule itself, as it is a policy-level setting. There is also an option to set a time-based rule in the NSX UI, so it does not require using the command line interface.
