VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 51

An architect is designing the implementation of the VMware Validated Solutions in an existing VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
The design must meet the following requirements:
Must provide logical networks that can span physical network boundaries and locations
Must use automatic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) configuration for Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches
What should the architect recommend based on these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Overlay-backed NSX segments
• B. A dedicated distributed virtual switch and dedicated port groups
• C. VLAN-backed NSX segments
• D. A dedicated NSX segment configured manually

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct option is A, as overlay-backed NSX segments facilitate the creation of logical networks that can extend across physical boundaries while supporting automatic BGP configurations. Options B and D do not provide the necessary capability to span physical network boundaries, and option C, while using VLANs, does not offer the flexibility and automation required for BGP configuration in this scenario.
