VMware Site Recovery Manager (2025) — Question 25

An administrator configures a new VMware NSX overlay segment for a new pool of virtual desktops to connect to with default segment policies. The virtual desktops will obtain an IPv4 address from a DHCP server connected to the same segment.
Which action must the administrator take to ensure IPv4 lease addresses can be successfully obtained from the DHCP server?

Answer options

• A. Clone the default segment security profile, configure the DHCP server block to No on the cloned profile and apply it to the segment.
• B. Edit the default IP discovery profile, configure the DHCP server block to No and apply it to the segment.
• C. Clone the default IP discovery profile, configure the DHCP server block to No on the cloned profile and apply it to the segment.
• D. Edit the default segment security profile, configure the DHCP server block to No and apply it to the segment.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because cloning the default segment security profile and changing the DHCP server block to No allows DHCP traffic, which is necessary for the virtual desktops to obtain IP addresses. The other options either alter the wrong profile or do not ensure that the DHCP server can communicate with the segment effectively.
