Question 1 Single choice

A security administrator needs to configure a firewall rule based on the domain name of a specific application.

Which field in a distributed firewall rule does the administrator configure?

  1. A

    Profile

  2. B

    Service

  3. C

    Policy

  4. D

    Source

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To configure a firewall rule based on the domain name of a specific application, the administrator needs to use the Profile field in a distributed firewall rule. The Profile field allows the administrator to select a context profile that contains one or more attributes for filtering traffic. One of the attributes that can be used is Domain (FQDN) Name, which specifies the fully qualified domain name of the application. For example, if the administrator wants to filter traffic to *.office365.com, they can create a context profile with the Domain (FQDN) Name attribute set to *.office365.com and use it in the Profile field of the firewall rule.

You can use this feature to synchronize policies, segments, gateways, firewalls, VPNs, load balancers, and other network services across sites.

Question 3 Single choice

Which command is used to display the network configuration of the Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) IP on a bare metal transport node?

  1. A

    tepconfig

  2. B

    ifconfig

  3. C

    tcpdump

  4. D

    debug

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The command ifconfig is used to display the network configuration of the Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) IP on a bare metal transport node 2. The TEP IP is assigned to a network interface on the bare metal server that is used for overlay traffic. The ifconfig command can show the IP address, netmask, broadcast address, and other information of the network interface. For example, the following command shows the network configuration of the TEP IP on a bare metal transport node with interface name ens192: ifconfig ens192
The output of the command would look something like this:
ens192: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.10.10.255 inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fe9a:1b8c prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>

Question 4 Multiple choice

Where does an administrator configure the VLANs used In VRF Lite? (Choose two.)

  1. A

    segment connected to the Tler-1 gateway

  2. B

    uplink trunk segment

  3. C

    downlink interface of the default Tier-0 gateway

  4. D

    uplink Interface of the VRF gateway

  5. E

    uplink interface of the default Tier-0 gateway

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: B, D

Explanation

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, these are the two places where you need to configure the VLANs used in VRF Lite: Uplink trunk segment: This is a segment that connects a tier-0 gateway to a physical network using multiple VLAN tags. You need to configure the VLAN IDs for each VRF on this segment.
Uplink interface of the VRF gateway: This is an interface that connects a VRF gateway to an uplink trunk segment using a specific VLAN tag. You need to configure the VLAN ID for each VRF on this interface.

Question 5 Single choice

When collecting support bundles through NSX Manager, which files should be excluded for potentially containing sensitive information?

  1. A

    Controller Files

  2. B

    Management Files

  3. C

    Core Files

  4. D

    Audit Files

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

According to the VMware NSX Documentation1, core files and audit logs can contain sensitive information and should be excluded from the support bundle unless requested by VMware technical support.
Controller files and management files are not mentioned as containing sensitive information.
References:
1: Support Bundle Collection Tool-VMware Docs Core files and Audit logs might contain sensitive information such as passwords or encryption keys. (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/administration/GUID-73D9AF0D-4000-4EF2-AC66-6572AD1A0B30.html)

Question 6 Single choice

An administrator has deployed 10 Edge Transport Nodes in their NSX Environment, but has forgotten to specify an NTP server during the deployment.

What is the efficient way to add an NTP server to all 10 Edge Transport Nodes?

  1. A

    Use Transport Node Profile

  2. B

    Use the CU on each Edge Node

  3. C

    Use a Node Profile

  4. D

    Use a PowerCU script

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A node profile is a configuration template that can be applied to multiple NSX Edge nodes or transport nodes at once. A node profile can include settings such as NTP server, DNS server, syslog server, and so on1. By using a node profile, an administrator can efficiently configure or update the network settings of multiple NSX Edge nodes or transport nodes in a single operation 2. The other options are incorrect because they are either not efficient or not supported. Using the CLI on each Edge node would require manual and repetitive commands for each node, which is not efficient. Using a Transport Node Profile would not work, because a Transport Node Profile is used to configure the NSX-T Data Center components on a transport node, such as the transport zone, the N-VDS, and the uplink profiles 3. Using a PowerCLI script might work, but it would require writing and testing a custom script, which is not as efficient as using a built-in feature like a node profile.

Question 7 Single choice

An NSX administrator is creating a Tier-1 Gateway configured In Active-Standby High Availability Mode. In the event of node failure, the failover policy should not allow the original tailed node to become the Active node upon recovery.

Which failover policy meets this requirement?

  1. A

    Non-Preemptive

  2. B

    Preemptive

  3. C

    Enable Preemptive

  4. D

    Disable Preemptive

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, a non-preemptive failover policy means that the original failed node will not become the active node upon recovery, unless the current active node fails again. This policy can help avoid unnecessary failovers and ensure stability.
The other options are either incorrect or not available for this configuration. Preemptive is the opposite of non-preemptive, meaning that the original failed node will become the active node upon recovery, if it has a higher priority than the current active node. Enable Preemptive and Disable Preemptive are not valid options for the failover policy, as the failover policy is a drop-down menu that only has two choices: Preemptive and Non-Preemptive.

Question 8 Multiple choice

Which two statements are true for IPSec VPN? (Choose two.)

  1. A

    VPNs can be configured on the command line Interface on the NSX manager.

  2. B

    IPSec VPN services can be configured at Tler-0 and Tler-1 gateways.

  3. C

    IPSec VPNs use the DPDK accelerated performance library.

  4. D

    Dynamic routing Is supported for any IPSec mode In NSX.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: B, C

Explanation

According to the VMware NSX 4.x Professional documents and tutorials, IPSec VPN secures traffic flowing between two networks connected over a public network through IPSec gateways called endpoints. NSX Edge supports a policy-based or a route-based IPSec VPN. Beginning with NSX-T Data Center 2.5, IPSec VPN services are supported on both Tier-0 and Tier-1 gateways 1. NSX Edge also leverages the DPDK accelerated performance library to optimize the performance of IPSec VPN2.

Question 9 Multiple choice

What are the four types of role-based access control (RBAC) permissions? (Choose four.)

  1. A

    Read

  2. B

    None

  3. C

    Auditor

  4. D

    Full access

  5. E

    Enterprise Admin

  6. F

    Execute

  7. G

    Network Admin

Show answer and explanation

Correct answers: A, B, D, F

Explanation

The four types of role-based access control (RBAC) permissions are Read, None, Full access, and Execute1. Read permission allows the user to view the configuration and status of the system. None permission denies any access to the system. Full access permission grants all permissions including Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD). Execute permission includes Read and Update permissions 1.
Auditor, Enterprise Admin, and Network Admin are not types of permissions, but types of roles that have different sets of permissions.
References:
NSX Features There are four types of permissions. Included in the list are the abbreviations for the permissions that are used in the Roles and Permissions and Roles and Permissions for Manager Mode tables.
Full access (FA)-All permissions including Create, Read, Update, and Delete Execute (E)-Includes Read and Update Read (R) None NSX-T Data Center has the following built-in roles. Role names in the UI can be different in the API. In NSX-T Data Center, if you have permission, you can clone an existing role, add a new role, edit newly created roles, or delete newly created roles.
