VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 31

Which two VMware recommendations should an architect follow when configuring top of rack (ToR) switches in an NSX-T Data Center environment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use only IPv4 addressing in all deployments.
• B. Configure redundant physical switches to enhance availability.
• C. Configure switch ports that connect to ESXi host manually as trunk ports.
• D. Configure switch ports with a Dynamic Trunking Protocol.
• E. Modify the Spanning Tree Protocol to increase the time to transition to the forwarding state.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because configuring redundant physical switches increases the availability of the network, which is crucial for a resilient architecture. Option C is also correct since manually configuring switch ports as trunk ports ensures proper VLAN tagging and communication between ESXi hosts and the ToR switches. Options A, D, and E are incorrect as they do not align with the best practices for NSX-T configurations.
