VMware Site Recovery Manager (2025) — Question 32

An administrator has been tasked with configuring the external connectivity for a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) within a new VMware NSX project. The Transit Gateway (TGW) associated with the project will use VLAN(s) and external subnets to connect the VPC to the physical routers.
What prerequisite must the administrator ensure is completed before starting the configuration of the external connection?

Answer options

• A. All the hosts running VPC workloads must have access to the Edge TEP network.
• B. All the hosts running VPC workloads must have access to the VLAN(s) used by the Distributed TGW.
• C. Two BGP Peers must be set up on the Distributed TGW for dynamic routing.
• D. The vSphere cluster must have a Transport Node Profile (TNP) attached to it.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because for the VPC to connect to the physical routers through the Distributed TGW, all VPC workload hosts need access to the designated VLANs. Option A is incorrect as Edge TEP network access is not a prerequisite for external connectivity. Option C is not necessary before setting up the connection, as BGP Peers can be configured after the initial setup. Option D is also incorrect as having a Transport Node Profile attached is not a prerequisite for establishing external connectivity.
