VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 4

A cloud administrator is deploying a new software-defined data center (SDDC) in VMware Cloud on AWS. Long-term planning indicates that a minimum of 30 hosts are required.
What is a valid management network CIDR based on the requirements?

Answer options

• A. 10.4.0.0/23
• B. 10.3.0.0/24
• C. 10.2.0.0/16
• D. 10.1.0.0/20

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a /20 CIDR allows for 4096 IP addresses, which is sufficient for a minimum of 30 hosts. The other options provide fewer usable addresses; /23 allows for 512, /24 allows for 256, and /16 allows for 65,536, but D is the most fitting for the current requirement.
