VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 89

An administrator is planning to enable vSphere with Tanzu on an existing VI workload domain. The following information is known:

• There is one vSphere cluster in that domain where all ESXi hosts have two uplinks.
• The NSX edge cluster will be deployed on the same vSphere cluster.
• Both System and NSX traffic will use the same uplinks of the VDS switch spanning the ESXi hosts.

Which statement accurately describes the deployment of this NSX edge cluster?

Answer options

• A. Two VLANs are needed for ESXi and edge TEP traffic.
• B. Additional NICs will have to be added to the ESXi hosts to separate the system and NSX traffic.
• C. One VLAN can be used for both ESXi and edge TEP traffic.
• D. Host overlay IP pool can be shared with the Edge overlay IP pool.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a single VLAN can efficiently handle both ESXi and edge TEP traffic when they share the same uplinks. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest unnecessary complexity and additional hardware that is not needed in this configuration. Option D is misleading as it does not reflect the separation typically required for these two types of traffic.
