VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 67

An architect is designing a new VCF solution to meet the following requirements:

• The solution must be deployed across two availability zones
• The physical hosts must be installed in a single rack per availability zone
• Workloads running in the cluster must be able to run on hosts in either availability zone

The architect has decided that to meet these requirements the solution will be deployed using the Single Instance - Multiple Availability Zones VCF Topology.

When considering the design for the network, what should the architect include in the logical design to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. A 25-GbE port on each Top of Rack (ToR) switch connected to the ESXi host uplinks
• B. A highly available gateway that supports the failure of an entire availability zone
• C. A physical network fabric in a leaf-spine configuration with dual Cisco switches within each availability zone
• D. A single NSX Overlay Transport Zone for all clusters to carry the traffic between the ESXi hosts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a single NSX Overlay Transport Zone facilitates seamless communication between ESXi hosts across different availability zones, which is essential for workload mobility. Options A and C do not address the need for cross-zone traffic management, while option B, while important for availability, does not directly impact the logical network design necessary for this topology.
