VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 20

A cloud administrator is looking to migrate several dozen workloads from their on-premises location to a VMware public cloud using the vMotion feature of VMware HCX. A total of three networks will need to be stretched for the migration. They will also be utilizing the capabilities of the WAN appliance to optimize migration traffic.
Based on this scenario, how many IP addresses would need to be reserved for the on-premises deployment of VMware HCX?

Answer options

• A. four
• B. five
• C. three
• D. six

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is four because VMware HCX requires a minimum of four IP addresses for its on-premises deployment, which includes addresses for the HCX manager, the WAN optimization appliance, and the two network segments being stretched. The other options do not provide enough or are excessive for the necessary components.
