VMware NSX 4.x Professional (2024) — Question 20

An administrator has connected two virtual machines on the same overlay segment. Ping between both virtual machines is successful.
What type of network boundary does this represent?

Answer options

• A. Layer 2 bridge
• B. Layer 2 broadcast domain
• C. Layer 2 VPN
• D. Layer 3 route

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The successful ping between the two virtual machines indicates they are part of the same broadcast domain, which is characteristic of a Layer 2 broadcast domain. A Layer 2 bridge connects networks, a Layer 2 VPN creates secure tunnels, and a Layer 3 route pertains to routing between different networks, none of which apply to this scenario.
