VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 42

An NSX-T Architect is working in a brownfield environment with 4 ESXi hosts. These constraints were documented:
✑ new servers cannot be purchased
✑ North/South bandwidth must be guaranteed
✑ Top-of-Rack switches have additional uplinks
Which three recommendations should the architect implement? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Remove one of the ESXi hosts and install a bare-metal Edge.
• B. Use a resource pool for production workloads.
• C. Use a resource pool to deploy the Edge nodes on.
• D. Recommend obtaining 2 new physical NICs for the servers.
• E. Install Edge nodes on a separate cluster.

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

The correct answer includes A, C, and D because removing an ESXi host allows for the installation of a bare-metal Edge, which is necessary in this scenario. Utilizing a resource pool for deploying Edge nodes ensures efficient resource allocation, and obtaining additional NICs is essential for enhancing bandwidth capabilities. Options B and E do not address the constraints of not acquiring new servers and do not optimize the current setup effectively.
