VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 42

A company wants to enhance the network virtualization and security capabilities within their VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment. The goal is to block traffic even between virtual machines connected to the same logical segment (L2 network) using micro segmentation.

Which solution can achieve the company's goals?

Answer options

• A. VMware AVI Load Balancer
• B. VMware Aria Operations for Networks
• C. VMware vDefend
• D. VMware NSX Intelligence

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is VMware vDefend, as it is specifically designed to implement micro segmentation, allowing for fine-grained security policies that can restrict traffic between virtual machines on the same logical network. The other options, while useful for various aspects of network management and optimization, do not provide the same level of micro segmentation capabilities needed to meet the company's requirements.
