A financial services company is migrating from a traditional hardware-centric data center to a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC). A primary goal is to automate the provisioning of network and security services to align with their agile development lifecycle. Which core principle of SDDC directly enables this goal?
A network administrator is struggling with long lead times for deploying new applications. Each deployment requires manual configuration of VLANs, ACLs, and firewall rules on multiple physical switches and routers, leading to delays and configuration errors. How does the NSX-T network virtualization model primarily address this challenge?
In an SDN architecture, which component is responsible for calculating network paths and pushing forwarding rules down to the network devices?
A vSphere administrator needs to provide dedicated network bandwidth for vSphere vMotion traffic to ensure live migrations are not impacted by other traffic types. Which vSphere networking component should be created and configured for this purpose?
A company wants to implement a Zero Trust security model within its data center. The primary requirement is to enforce security policies at the individual workload level, regardless of where the workload is running. Which TWO VMware products are most essential for building this solution? (Select TWO)
An administrator successfully deployed the three-node NSX Manager cluster. What is the primary role of this cluster in the NSX-T architecture?
Case Study: InnovateCloud Solutions InnovateCloud Solutions is a managed service provider that offers isolated development environments for its clients. They are designing a new multi-tenant offering using VMware NSX-T. Each client (tenant) requires its own logical routing domain for their application tiers (e.g., web, app, db). These tenant networks must be completely isolated from each other. However, all tenants need to access a shared set of services, such as DNS and NTP servers, which are located on a dedicated network segment. To provide North-South connectivity to the internet and the corporate network, a central routing instance has been configured to peer with the physical network fabric using BGP. The design must be scalable to support hundreds of tenants, and the provisioning of a new tenant's network stack should be simple and repeatable. Which NSX-T logical routing design best meets these requirements?
An administrator needs to create a security policy that prevents all workloads tagged with 'PCI-Environment' from initiating any communication to workloads tagged as 'Development'. Which NSX-T component is the most appropriate and efficient place to configure this policy?
An administrator has configured a Tier-0 Gateway in an Active-Standby high availability mode. What happens to the North-South traffic flow if the active Edge Node fails?
An administrator needs to quickly isolate a compromised virtual machine from the network to prevent a security threat from spreading. The goal is to block all inbound and outbound traffic for that specific VM. From the NSX Manager UI, where would the administrator navigate to accomplish this task most effectively?
