VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 59

A cloud administrator successfully configures a policy-based VPN between an on-premises data center and an instance of VMware Cloud software-defined data center (SDDC). Although the workloads are reachable from both locations over the IP network, the cloud virtual machines cannot access an on-premises web service.

What should the cloud administrator check first to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. On-premises gateway settings
• B. On-premises DNS settings
• C. VMware Cloud gateway settings
• D. VMware Cloud DNS settings

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as DNS settings on the on-premises side may be preventing the cloud virtual machines from resolving the hostname of the web service. Checking the on-premises gateway settings (A) or VMware Cloud gateway settings (C) won't directly address the DNS resolution issue, and VMware Cloud DNS settings (D) are not likely to impact on-premises services.
