VMware 2V0-41.23 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  An administrator wants to validate the BGP connection status between the Tier-O Gateway and the upstream physical router.

  What sequence of commands could be used to check this status on NSX Edge node?

  A. set vrf show logical-routers show bgp
  B. show logical-routers get vrf show ip route bgp
  C. get gateways vrf get bgp neighbor
  D. enable get vrf show bgp neighbor
  C. get gateways vrf get bgp neighbor

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  The sequence of commands that could be used to check the BGP connection status between the Tier-O Gateway and the upstream physical router on NSX Edge node is get gateways, vrf , get bgp neighbor. These commands can be executed on the NSX Edge node CLI after logging in as admin6. The first command, get gateways, displays the list of logical routers (gateways) configured on the Edge node, along with their IDs and VRF numbers7. The second command, vrf , switches to the VRF context of the desired Tier-O Gateway, where is the VRF number obtained from the previous command7. The third command, get bgp neighbor, displays the BGP neighbor summary for the selected VRF, including the neighbor IP address, AS number, state, uptime, and prefixes received8. The other options are incorrect because they either use invalid or incomplete commands or do not switch to the correct VRF context.

• Question 2:

  An administrator has connected two virtual machines on the same overlay segment. Ping between both virtual machines is successful. What type of network boundary does this represent?

  A. Layer 2 VPN
  B. Layer 2 bridge
  C. Layer 2 broadcast domain
  D. Layer 3 route
  C. Layer 2 broadcast domain

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  An overlay segment is a logical construct that provides Layer 2 connectivity between virtual machines that are attached to it. An overlay segment can span multiple hosts and can be extended across different subnets or locations using Geneve encapsulation3. Therefore, two virtual machines on the same overlay segment belong to the same Layer 2 broadcast domain, which means they can communicate with each other using their MAC addresses without requiring any routing. The other options are incorrect because they involve Layer 3 or higher network boundaries, which require routing or tunneling to connect different segments. References: VMware NSX Documentation

• Question 3:

  Which two of the following are used to configure Distributed Firewall on VDS? (Choose two.)

  A. vSphere API
  B. NSX API
  C. NSX CU
  D. vCenter API
  E. NSX UI
  B. NSX API
  E. NSX UI

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  According to the VMware NSX Documentation, these are two of the ways that you can use to configure Distributed Firewall on VDS:

  NSX API: This is a RESTful API that allows you to programmatically configure and manage Distributed Firewall on VDS using HTTP methods and JSON payloads. You can use tools such as Postman or curl to send API requests to the NSX

  Manager node.

  NSX UI: This is a graphical user interface that allows you to configure and manage Distributed Firewall on VDS using menus, tabs, buttons, and forms. You can access the NSX UI by logging in to the NSX Manager node using a web browser.

• Question 4:

  What should an NSX administrator check to verify that VMware Identity Manager Integration Is successful?

  A. From VMware Identity Manager the status of the remote access application must be green.
  B. From the NSX UI the status of the VMware Identity Manager Integration must be "Enabled".
  C. From the NSX CLI the status of the VMware Identity Manager Integration must be "Configured".
  D. From the NSX UI the URI in the address bar must have "locaNfatse" part of it.
  B. From the NSX UI the status of the VMware Identity Manager Integration must be "Enabled".

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  From the NSX UI the status of the VMware Identity Manager Integration must be "Enabled". According to the VMware NSX Documentation1, after configuring VMware Identity Manager integration, you can validate the functionality by checking the status of the integration in the NSX UI. The status should be "Enabled" if the integration is successful. The other options are either incorrect or not relevant.

• Question 5:

  Which two of the following features are supported for the Standard NSX Application Platform Deployment? (Choose two.)

  A. NSX Intrusion Detection and Prevention
  B. NSX Intelligence
  C. NSX Network Detection and Response
  D. NSX Malware Prevention Metrics
  E. NSX Intrinsic Security
  C. NSX Network Detection and Response
  D. NSX Malware Prevention Metrics

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  The NSX Application Platform Deployment features are divided into three form factors: Evaluation, Standard, and Advanced. Each form factor determines which NSX features can be activated or installed on the platform1. The Evaluation form factor supports only NSX Intelligence, which provides network visibility and analytics for NSX-T environments2. The Standard form factor supports both NSX Intelligence and NSX Network Detection and Response, which provides network threat detection and response capabilities for NSX-T environments3. The Advanced form factor supports all four features: NSX Intelligence, NSX Network Detection and Response, NSX Malware Prevention, and NSX Metrics1. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/nsx-application-platform/GUID-85CD2728-8081-45CE-9A4A-D72F49779D6A.html

• Question 6:

  An administrator is configuring service insertion for Network Introspection.

  Which two places can the Network Introspection be configured? (Choose two.)

  A. Host pNIC
  B. Partner SVM
  C. Tier-0 gateway
  D. Tier-1 gateway
  E. Edge Node
  A. Host pNIC
  B. Partner SVM

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  Network Introspection is a service insertion feature that allows third-party network security services to monitor and analyze the traffic between virtual machines. Network Introspection can be configured on the host pNIC or on the partner SVM, depending on the type of service and the deployment model. The host pNIC configuration is used for services that require traffic redirection from the physical network to the service virtual machine. The partner SVM configuration is used for services that require traffic redirection from the virtual network to the service virtual machine. Network Introspection cannot be configured on the Tier-0 or Tier-1 gateways, as they are not part of the data plane where the service insertion occurs. Network Introspection also cannot be configured on the edge node, as it is a logical construct that hosts the Tier-0 and Tier-1 gateways.

• Question 7:

  Which CLI command does an NSX administrator run on the NSX Manager to generate support bundle logs if the NSX UI Is inaccessible?

  A. set support-bundle file vcpnv.tgz
  B. esxcli system syslog config logger set--id=nsxmanager
  C. vm-support
  D. get support-bundle file vcpnv.tgz
  D. get support-bundle file vcpnv.tgz

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  To generate the support bundle logs on the NSX Manager via API, the NSX administrator needs to use the POST method with the URL https://nsxmgr_ip/api/1.0/appliance-management/techsupportlogs/NSX, where nsxmgr_ip is the IP address of the NSX Manager1. This will create a tech support bundle file with a name like vcpnv.tgz. To download the generated tech support bundle file via CLI, the NSX administrator needs to use the get support-bundle file vcpnv.tgz command on the NSX Manager1. The other commands are incorrect because they either do not generate or download the support bundle logs, or they are not related to the NSX Manager.

• Question 8:

  Which two steps must an NSX administrator take to integrate VMware Identity Manager in NSX to support role-based access control? (Choose two.)

  A. Create a SAML authentication in VMware Identity Manager using the NSX Manager FQDN.
  B. Enter the Identity Provider (IdP) metadata URL in NSX Manager.
  C. Create an OAuth 2.0 client in VMware Identity Manager.
  D. Add NSX Manager as a Service Provider (SP) in VMware Identity Manager.
  E. Enter the service URL, Client Secret, and SSL thumbprint in NSX Manager.
  C. Create an OAuth 2.0 client in VMware Identity Manager.
  E. Enter the service URL, Client Secret, and SSL thumbprint in NSX Manager.

• Question 9:

  Which two of the following will be used for Ingress traffic on the Edge node supporting a Single Tier topology? (Choose two.)

  A. Inter-Tier interface on the Tier-0 gateway
  B. Tier-0 Uplink interface
  C. Downlink Interface for the Tier-0 DR
  D. Tier-1 SR Router Port
  E. Downlink Interface for the Tier-1 DR
  B. Tier-0 Uplink interface
  C. Downlink Interface for the Tier-0 DR

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  The two interfaces that will be used for ingress traffic on the Edge node supporting a Single Tier topology are:

  B. Tier-0 Uplink interface

  C. Downlink Interface for the Tier-0 DR The Tier-0 Uplink interface is the interface that connects the Tier-0 gateway to the external network. It is used to receive traffic from the physical router or switch that is the next hop for the Tier-0 gateway. The Tier-0 Uplink interface can be configured with a static IP address or use BGP to exchange routes with the external network. The Downlink Interface for the Tier-0 DR is the interface that connects the Tier-0 gateway to the workload segments. It is used to receive traffic from the VMs or containers that are attached to the segments. The Downlink Interface for the Tier-0 DR is a logical interface (LIF) that is distributed across all transport nodes that host the segments. The Downlink Interface for the Tier-0 DR has an IP address that acts as the default gateway for the VMs or containers on the segments.

  A. VRF Lite
  B. Ethernet VPN
  C. NSX MTML5 UI
  D. NSX Federation
  D. NSX Federation

  ---

  explanation:

  Explanation/Reference:

  According to the VMware NSX Documentation, this is the NSX feature that can be leveraged to achieve consistent policy configuration and simplicity across sites:

  NSX Federation: This feature allows you to create and manage a global network infrastructure that spans across multiple sites using a single pane of glass. You can use this feature to synchronize policies, segments, gateways, firewalls,

  VPNs, load balancers, and other network services across sites.
