VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 36

What is the recommended method for IP address allocation for the management interface of VMware ESXi hosts in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment?

Answer options

• A. Dynamic IP addresses assigned via DHCP without any reservations
• B. Dynamic IP addresses assigned via DHCP with a reservation based on MAC address
• C. Static IP addresses assigned manually
• D. Static IP address assigned using VMware NSX IP Pools

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as static IP addresses provide consistent network access and facilitate management in a VCF environment. Options A and B, which rely on DHCP, can lead to IP address changes that may complicate management. Option D, while using static IPs, depends on VMware NSX IP Pools, which may not be the recommended method for all scenarios.
