VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2019) — Question 84

An NSX administrator has been tasked with deploying a NSX Edge Virtual machine through an ISO image.
Which virtual network interface card (vNIC) type must be selected while creating the NSX Edge VM to allow participation in overlay and VLAN transport zones?

Answer options

• A. VMXNET3
• B. VMXNET2
• C. e1000
• D. Flexible

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The VMXNET3 vNIC type is optimized for performance and supports advanced features required for NSX Edge VMs to function in overlay and VLAN transport zones. The other options, VMXNET2, e1000, and Flexible, do not provide the necessary capabilities for NSX functionality, making them unsuitable for this deployment.
