VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 27

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 allow participation in overlay and VLAN transport zones?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is VMXNET3, as it supports advanced features like high performance and is optimized for virtual environments. The e1000 and Flexible options provide older standards with less capability, while VMXNET2 lacks the enhancements of VMXNET3, making them unsuitable for overlay and VLAN transport zones.
