VMware vSphere 6 Beta — Question 22

An administrator is deploying NSX to secure the virtual environment. NSX Manager has been deployed and registered with the vCenter server.
Which additional step is required before the distributed firewall is functional?

Answer options

• A. Deploy the NSX Controller cluster
• B. Enable Guest Introspection
• C. Perform host preparation on the cluster
• D. Configure VTEPs on each host

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because host preparation is essential to enable the distributed firewall to function by preparing the ESXi hosts for NSX features. Options A and B, while necessary for other functionalities, do not directly impact the distributed firewall's readiness. Option D relates to network configuration rather than the firewall's activation.
