VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 41

An architect is helping an organization with the Physical Design of an NSX-T Data Center solution.
This information was gathered during a workshop:
✑ The company will use a Leaf and Spine physical network architecture with Layer 3 gateways for top of rack switches.
✑ The company is planning to deploy 120 ESX hosts across 10 racks.
✑ There will be a total of a 12 clusters where each cluster has one host per rack.
What should the architect recommend to allow applications to run on any host in the cluster? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy all application networks on NSX segments.
• B. Deploy an L2 VPN to allow the networks to extend to each host.
• C. Deploy a Tier-0 gateway per Rack and configure BGP between racks.
• D. Deploy a Tier-1 gateway per Rack and configure BGP between racks.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because deploying all application networks on NSX segments allows seamless communication between applications and hosts across the cluster, ensuring flexibility. Options B, C, and D do not provide the same level of application mobility across hosts, as they either focus on VPN solutions or gateway configurations that do not directly facilitate application network deployment.
