VMware vSphere 8 Foundations — Question 28

A customer needs to secure two virtual machines that are attached to the same segment.
How can the customer achieve network security using NSX Data Center?

Answer options

• A. Configure a distributed firewall rule
• B. Move one of the virtual machines to a separate segment
• C. Configure a physical firewall rule
• D. Install a personal firewall on each virtual machine

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because configuring a distributed firewall rule allows for granular security policies to be applied directly to the virtual machines, even when they are on the same segment. Option B is ineffective as moving a VM does not address security for both VMs. Option C is not applicable since NSX Data Center focuses on virtual solutions, and option D adds unnecessary complexity without providing the same level of centralized control as a distributed firewall.
