Free Practice Questions for VMware 2V0-41.24 Exam

In an NSX environment, a Punting Traffic Group for the NSX Edge uplinks must be configured before enabling stateful active-active Source NAT (SNAT). This configuration ensures that traffic is appropriately handled and forwarded between the NSX Edge nodes in an active-active setup, allowing stateful connections to be maintained across multiple Edge nodes.

In Non-Preemptive failover policy, once a failover occurs and a new Active node is designated, the original failed node will not automatically become the Active node upon recovery. This setting ensures that the failover does not revert to the original node after it comes back online, maintaining the stability of the network by keeping the current Active node as is.

The correct answer is to enable the option All LB VIP Routes on the Tier-1 gateway route advertisement settings. This option allows the Tier-1 gateway to advertise the NSX Advanced Load Balancer LB VIP routes to the Tier-0 gateway and other peer routers, so that the end users can reach the production website by using the VIP address1. The other options are not relevant for this scenario.

To mark the correct answer by clicking on the image, you can click on the toggle switch next to All LB VIP Routes to turn it on. The switch should change from gray to blue, indicating that the option is enabled. See the image below for reference:

In NSX, Unicast traffic type should be used in TraceFlow when validating connectivity between two specific virtual machines, such as App and DB VMs, that reside on different segments. Unicast traffic is directed from one source to a single destination, making it suitable for testing direct connectivity between two VMs.

Load Balancing Algorithm 

You specify the following parameters during the creation of a server pool:

• Name: A unique name for the server pool.

• Cloud: The cloud connector details for the NSX environment.

• VRF Context: Virtual Routing Framework (VRF) is a method to isolate traffic in a system. VRF is also called a route domain in the load balancer community. A global VRF context is created by default. Network administrators might create custom VRF contexts to isolate traffic between different tenants or subsets.

• Default Server Port: New connections to servers will use this destination service port. The default port is 80.

• Load-balancing algorithm: The selected load-balancing algorithm controls how the incoming connections are distributed among the servers in the pool.

• Tier-1 gateway (logical router): Specify the Tier-1 gateway that you want to attach the server pool to. This value matches the Tier-1 gateway specified for the virtual service and VIP.

An NSX Edge Cluster can contain a mix of edge node types, meaning it can have both virtual machine (VM) and bare-metal edge nodes within the same cluster.

An NSX Edge Cluster supports a maximum of 8 edge nodes, allowing for scalability while adhering to the NSX design limitations for edge clusters.

To activate Malware Prevention on the NSX Application Platform, the steps are:

In the NSX Manager UI, select System and in the Configuration section, select NSX Application Platform.

Navigate to the Features section, locate the NSX Malware Prevention feature card, and click Activate or anywhere in the card.

In the NSX Malware Prevention activation window, select one of the available cloud regions from which you can access the NSX Advanced Threat Prevention cloud service.

Click Run Prechecks. This precheck process can take some time as the system validates that the minimum license requirement is met and that it is eligible for use with the NSX Advanced Threat Prevention cloud service. The system also validates that the selected cloud region is reachable.

Click Activate. This step can take some time1. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The other options are incorrect because they involve activating or deploying NSX Network Detection and Response, which is a different feature from Malware Prevention. References: Activate NSX Malware Prevention

NSX Federation allows consistent policy configuration and enforcement across multiple NSX instances or environments. It provides a unified framework to manage security and networking policies across different NSX deployments, enabling centralized control and consistent application of policies across multiple sites or data centers.

According to the Network Bachelor article1, an IDS signature contains data used to identify an attacker’s attempt to exploit a known vulnerability in both the operating system and applications. This implies that statement B is true. According to the VMware NSX Documentation2, IDS/IPS Profiles are used to group signatures, which can then be applied to select applications and traffic. This implies that statement E is true. Statement A is false because users cannot upload their own IDS signature definitions, they have to use the ones provided by VMware or Trustwave3. Statement C is false because an IDS signature does not contain data used to identify the creator of known exploits and vulnerabilities, only the exploits and vulnerabilities themselves. Statement D is false because IDS signatures are classified into one of the following severity categories: Critical, High, Medium, Low, or Informational1.
