Sample Question and Answers

QUESTION 1
Which of the following considerations should be taken into account when designing Geneve tunneling?

A. The number of transport nodes in the NSX environment.
B. The available bandwidth on the physical network links between the transport nodes.
C. The size of the virtual machines running in the NSX environment.
D. The physical location of the transport nodes within the data center.

Answer: B

Explanation:
When designing Geneve tunneling in VMware NSX 4.x, one of the key considerations is ensuring that
there is sufficient bandwidth on the physical network links between transport nodes. This is because
Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) tunnels encapsulate traffic from virtual
machines and send it across the physical network infrastructure. If the physical network links do not
have enough bandwidth to handle this encapsulated traffic, it could lead to congestion, packet drops, and degraded performance.
Detailed Breakdown:
Geneve Tunneling Overview :
Geneve is a tunneling protocol used by VMware NSX to encapsulate Layer 2 or Layer 3 traffic inside
UDP packets. This allows for overlay networking where multiple logical networks can be created over
a shared physical network infrastructure.
Each tunnel endpoint resides on a transport node (e.g., ESXi hosts, Edge nodes, etc.), and these
endpoints communicate with each other over the physical network using Geneve encapsulation.
Why Bandwidth Matters (Option B) :
Since Geneve adds an additional header to the original packet, it increases the overall size of the
packet being transmitted. This means that more data needs to traverse the physical network links.
If the physical links between transport nodes are already heavily utilized or do not have sufficient
capacity, adding Geneve-encapsulated traffic could exacerbate existing bottlenecks.
Therefore, when designing the NSX environment, its crucial to assess the current utilization of the
physical network and ensure that there is adequate headroom for the increased load due to Geneve tunneling.
Other Options Analysis :
A . The number of transport nodes in the NSX environment :
While the number of transport nodes does affect the complexity of the NSX deployment (more
nodes mean more tunnels to manage), it doesnt directly impact the design of Geneve tunneling
itself. The primary concern here would be scalability rather than the tunneling protocol's efficiency.
C . The size of the virtual machines running in the NSX environment :
The size of the VMs (CPU, memory, disk space) has no direct bearing on Geneve tunneling. What
matters is the amount of network traffic generated by those VMs, not their resource allocation.
D . The physical location of the transport nodes within the data center :
Although the physical location of transport nodes might influence latency and routing decisions, it
isnt a primary factor when specifically considering Geneve tunneling design. However, proximity
could indirectly affect performance if distant nodes introduce higher latencies or require traversing slower WAN links.
Reference:
VMware NSX-T Data Center Installation Guide 4.x :
This guide provides detailed steps and considerations for deploying NSX-T environments, including
setting up transport zones and configuring Geneve tunnels. It emphasizes the importance of
assessing network bandwidth requirements during the planning phase.
VMware NSX-T Data Center Design Guide 4.x :
The design guide discusses best practices for designing scalable and performant NSX environments.
It highlights the need to evaluate the underlying physical network infrastructure to support overlay traffic efficiently.
VMware Knowledge Base Articles :
Various KB articles related to NSX troubleshooting often mention issues arising from insufficient
bandwidth on physical links when dealing with high volumes of encapsulated traffic.
By focusing on available bandwidth (Option B), you ensure that the physical network can
accommodate the additional overhead introduced by Geneve tunneling, thereby maintaining
optimal performance and reliability in your NSX environment.

QUESTION 2

A Solutions Architect is designing an NSX solution for a customer. Which of the following would be an example of a logical design for this project?

A. A set of instructions for installing and configuring the NSX software.
B. A detailed diagram of the interfaces for the NSX Edge components in the data center.
C. A high-level overview of the NSX solution, including objectives of the implementation.
D. A detailed description of the NSX configuration, including VLAN and IP address assignments.

Answer: C

Explanation:
A logical design defines the high-level structure and objectives of an NSX implementation without
getting into the specifics of configuration details (which are part of the physical design).
Logical Design Includes:
Network Segmentation Strategy
Traffic Flow Considerations (East-West & North-South)
Security & Micro-Segmentation Policies
Integration with Physical and Cloud Networks
Incorrect Options:
(A - Instructions for Installation) → This belongs to the implementation phase (not logical design).
(B - Interface Diagrams) → These belong to the physical design.
(D - VLAN & IP Assignments) → These are detailed configuration steps, not part of high-level design.

QUESTION 3

Which three VMware guidelines are recommended when designing VLANs and subnets for a single
region and single availability zone? (Choose three.)

A. Use the RFC1918 IPv4 address space for these subnets and allocate one octet by region and another octet by function.
B. Use the RFC2460 IPv6 address space for these subnets and allocate one set by region and another set by function.
C. Use only subnets to reduce confusion and mistakes when handling IPv4 subnetting.
D. Use only subnets to reduce confusion and mistakes when handling IPv4 subnetting.
E. Use the IP address of the floating interface for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) or Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) as the gateway.

Answer: A, D, E

Explanation:
RFC1918 Address Space (A)
VMware recommends using private IPv4 address ranges from RFC1918. This ensures internal
network segmentation without public exposure.
Allocating one octet for region and another for function helps with structured IP management.
Subnet Sizing (D)
Using subnets is preferred in NSX-T design because:
It simplifies management by offering 256 usable IP addresses per subnet.
It prevents overlapping IP issues and ensures better compatibility with firewalls and routers.
Floating Interface for VRRP/HSRP (E)
NSX-T supports redundant gateways using VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) or HSRP (Hot
Standby Routing Protocol).
The floating IP acts as a redundant gateway, ensuring seamless failover in multi-gateway
environments.
Incorrect Options:
(B - IPv6 RFC2460) → NSX primarily uses IPv4 for most enterprise deployments. IPv6 support is
limited and requires additional configuration.
(C - Subnets) → Using subnets is impractical for micro-segmentation as it creates larger
broadcast domains and increases network overhead.

QUESTION 4

A global bank has decided to overhaul its network infrastructure and adopt VMware NSX to enhance
security and streamline management. The bank handles sensitive financial data and has a massive
customer base, making it a potential target for cyber threats. Therefore, security is of paramountimportance in this project.
A Network Solutions Architect is tasked with developing an NSX security design that incorporates
security policy methodologies and adheres to NSX security best practices. They must ensure the
micro-segmentation of network components, implement distributed firewalling, and create security
policies that align with the bank's data protection requirements.
When considering NSX security VMware practices for the bank's deployment, what aspect is
essential for enhancing the security posture?

A. Avoid the use of distributed firewalls as they can complicate the network design.
B. Implement a Zero Trust model and enforce policies at the Gateway level.
C. Implement a Zero Trust model and enforce policies at the workload level.
D. Deploy NSX in a single, large segment for simplicity.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Implementing a Zero Trust Model at the Workload Level (Correct Answer C):
Micro-segmentation and NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) allow enforcement of security policies at
the workload level.
This ensures that even if one workload is compromised, lateral movement is restricted.
Incorrect Options:
(A - Avoiding Distributed Firewalls) → This contradicts NSX best practices. DFW is a core security
feature that minimizes attack surfaces.
(B - Gateway-Level Security Only) → A gateway firewall alone cannot enforce granular microsegmentation.
(D - Single Large Segment) → This increases the blast radius and is against Zero Trust principles.

Zero Trust Security Model in NSX-T

QUESTION 5

How can a multi-tier architecture benefit a customers design?

A. It offers better control over the placement of stateful services.
B. It provides a cost-effective solution for simple networks.
C. It simplifies the network topology by consolidating all services into a single tier.
D. It eliminates the need for EVPN in the network design.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Multi-Tier Architecture & Stateful Services (Correct Answer - A):
In NSX-T, a multi-tier architecture consists of Tier-0 (T0) and Tier-1 (T1) Gateways, allowing better
control and placement of stateful services such as:
Load Balancers (LBs)
NAT (Network Address Translation)
Firewall Rules (DFW, Gateway FW)
VPN Services
Tier-1 Gateways can be configured to handle stateful services, while Tier-0 Gateways focus on
routing North-South traffic efficiently.
Incorrect Options:
(B - Cost-Effective for Simple Networks):
Multi-tier architecture is not necessarily cost-effective for simple networks. Instead, a single-tier
deployment might be more suitable.
(C - Simplifies Network Topology by Consolidation):
Multi-tier segregates services rather than consolidating them. It separates East-West and North-
South traffic flows for better performance.
(D - Eliminates the Need for EVPN):
Ethernet VPN (EVPN) is a control plane solution for VXLAN overlay networks, mainly used in multisite
or multi-data center deployments. It is independent of the multi-tier architecture.
