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.

The RouterLink port is automatically created when a Tier-1 Gateway is connected with a Tier-0 Gateway from the NSX UI1. The RouterLink port is a logical interface that is assigned an IP address and is associated with a physical or virtual interface. The RouterLink port acts as an end point of the IPSec tunnel and routes traffic between the Tier-1 Gateway and the Tier-0 Gateway2. The other options are incorrect because they involve manual creation of logical switches or segments, which are not required for RouterLink port creation. References: Configure NSX for Virtual Networking from vSphere Client, Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The main components on the edge node for north-south malware prevention perform the following functions:

• IDS/IPS engine: Extracts files and relays events and data to the security hub

North-south malware prevention uses the file extraction features of the IDS/IPS engine that runs on NSX Edge for north-south traffic.

• Security hub: Collects file events, obtains verdicts for known files, sends files for local and cloud-based analysis, and sends information to the security analyzer

• RAPID: Provides local analysis of the file

• ASDS Cache: Caches reputation and verdicts of known files

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, these are two of the use cases for Distributed Intrusion Detection, which is a feature of NSX Network Detection and Response:

• Quarantine workloads based on vulnerabilities: You can use Distributed Intrusion Detection to detect vulnerabilities in your workloads and apply quarantine actions to isolate them from the network until they are remediated.
• Identify security vulnerabilities in the workloads: You can use Distributed Intrusion Detection to scan your workloads for known vulnerabilities and generate reports that show the severity, impact, and remediation steps for each vulnerability.

The CLI command on NSX Manager and NSX Edge that is used to change NTP settings is set ntp-server. This command allows the user to configure one or more NTP servers for time synchronization12. The other options are incorrect because they are not valid CLI commands for changing NTP settings. The get timezone and set timezone commands are used to display and configure the timezone of the system1. The get time-server command is used to display the current time server configuration1. There are no CLI commands for using RADIUS or BootP for NTP settings. References: NSX-T Command-Line Interface Reference, vSphere ESXi 7.0 U3 and later versions NTP configuration steps

Route-based VPN is a VPN type that uses Virtual Tunnel interfaces (VTI) to establish IPSec tunnels between an NSX Edge node and remote sites2. A VTI is a logical interface that is assigned an IP address and is associated with a physical or virtual interface. The VTI acts as an end point of the IPSec tunnel and routes traffic between the NSX Edge node and the remote site2. Route & SSL based VPNs, Policy & Route based VPNs, and SSL-based VPN are not VPN types that use VTI. References: Virtual Private Network (VPN)

• Security policy recommendations: Are East-West distributed firewall (DFW) security policies in the application category12.
• Security group recommendations: Are VMs or physical servers whose traffic flows were analyzed for the time period and the boundary you had specified12.
• Service recommendations: Are service objects that were used by applications in the VMs or physical servers that you had specified, but the services are not yet defined in the NSX inventory12.

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.

Distributed Firewall on VDS is a feature of NSX-T Data Center that allows users to install Distributed Security for vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) without the need to deploy an NSX Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS). This feature provides NSX security capabilities such as Distributed Firewall (DFW), Distributed IDS/IPS, Identity Firewall, L7 App ID, FQDN Filtering, NSX Intelligence, and NSX Malware Prevention. To enable this feature, the following requirements must be met in the environment:

• The NSX version must be 3.2 and later1. This is the minimum version that supports Distributed Security for VDS.
• The VDS version must be 6.6.0 and later1. This is the minimum version that supports the NSX host preparation operation that activates the DFW with the default rule set to allow.

Procedure From your browser, log in with Enterprise Admin privileges to an NSX Manager at . Navigate to System > Support Bundle. In the Request Bundle tab, select NSX Application Platform from the Type drop-down menu.

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, these are the prerequisites for adding nodes to an NSX Management Cluster using the NSX UI:

• All nodes must be in the same subnet and have IP connectivity with each other.
• A compute manager must be configured and associated with the NSX Manager node.
• The NSX Manager node must have a valid license.
• The NSX Manager node must have a valid certificate.

The following L2 VPN clients are recommended:

1. NSX Managed NSX Edge in a separate NSX Managed environment.

• Overlay and VLAN segments can be extended.

2. Autonomous Edge:

• Enables L2 VPN access from a non-a NSX environment to NSX environments.

• Deployed by using an OVF file on a host that is not managed by NSX.

• Only VLAN segments can be extended.

The service interface is a special-purpose port to enable services for mainly VLAN-based networks. North-south service insertion is another use case that requires a service interface to connect a partner appliance and redirect north-south traffic for partner services. Service interfaces are supported on both active-standby Tier-0 logical routers and Tier-1 routers. Firewall, NAT, and VPNs are supported on this interface. The service interface is also a downlink

According to the VMware NSX 4.x Professional documents and tutorials, an NSX Manager is a standalone appliance that hosts the API services, the management plane, control plane, and policy management. The NSX Manager has three built-in roles: policy, manager, and controller2. The policy role handles the declarative configuration of the system and translates it into desired state for the manager role. The manager role receives and validates the configuration from the policy role and stores it in a distributed persistent database. The manager role also publishes the configuration to the central control plane. The controller role implements the central control plane that computes the network state based on the configuration and topology information3. The other roles (master, cloud, and zookeeper) are not valid NSX Manager roles.

The answer is A. SR is instantiated and automatically connected with DR.

SR stands for Service Router and DR stands for Distributed Router. They are components of the NSX Edge node that provide different functions1

The SR is responsible for providing stateful services such as NAT, firewall, load balancing, VPN, and DHCP. The DR is responsible for providing distributed routing and switching between logical segments and the physical network1

When a stateful service is enabled for the first time on a Tier-0 Gateway, the NSX Edge node automatically creates an SR instance and connects it with the existing DR instance. This allows the stateful service to be applied to the traffic that passes through the SR before reaching the DR2

According to the VMware NSX 4.x Professional Exam Guide, understanding the SR and DR components and their functions is one of the exam objectives3

To learn more about the SR and DR components and how they work on the NSX Edge node, you can refer to the following resources:

• VMware NSX Documentation: NSX Edge Components 1
• VMware NSX 4.x Professional: NSX Edge Architecture
• VMware NSX 4.x Professional: NSX Edge Routing

The host switch modes determine how the NSX network and security stack is allocated on the underlying host CPU or DPU. There are two supported host switch modes: Enhanced Datapath and Standard Datapath1. Enhanced Datapath mode leverages the DPU to offload the NSX datapath processing from the host CPU, while Standard Datapath mode uses the host CPU for the NSX datapath processing1. DPDK Datapath, Overlay Datapath, and Secure Datapath are not valid host switch modes for NSX 4.x. References: NSX Features

 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.

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.

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. References: NSX-T Command-Line Interface Reference, NSX Edge Node CLI Commands, Troubleshooting BGP on NSX-T Edge Nodes

The field in a Tier-1 Gateway Firewall that would be used to allow access for a collection of trustworthy web sites is Profiles -> L7 Access Profile. This field allows the user to create a Layer 7 access profile that defines a list of allowed or blocked URLs based on categories, reputation, or custom entries1. The user can then apply the L7 access profile to a firewall rule to control the traffic based on the URL filtering criteria1. The other options are incorrect because they are not related to URL filtering. The Source field specifies the source IP address or group of the firewall rule1. The Destination field specifies the destination IP address or group of the firewall rule1. The Profiles -> Context Profiles field allows the user to create a context profile that defines a list of application signatures or attributes that can be used to identify and classify network traffic1. References: Gateway Firewall

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.

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.

The correct answers are A. Files and anti-malware (file) events from the NSX Edge nodes and the Security Analyzer, D. IDS/IPS events from the ESXi hosts and NSX Edge nodes, and E. Suspicious Traffic Detection events from NSX Intelligence. According to the VMware NSX Documentation3, these are the three data collection sources that are used by NSX Network Detection and Response to create correlations/intrusion campaigns.

The other options are incorrect or not supported by NSX Network Detection and Response. East-West anti-malware events from the ESXi hosts are not collected by NSX Network Detection and Response3. Distributed Firewall flow data from the ESXi hosts are not used for correlation/intrusion campaigns by NSX Network Detection and Response3.

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, this VPN type must be configured before enabling a L2VPN. L2VPN stands for Layer 2 VPN and is a feature that allows you to extend your layer 2 network across different sites using an IPSec tunnel. Route-based IPSec VPN is a VPN type that uses logical router ports to establish IPSec tunnels between sites.

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, Switch Visualization is a feature in the NSX UI that shows the mapping between the virtual NIC and the host’s physical adapter for virtual machines running on an ESXi transport node. You can use Switch Visualization to view details such as port ID, MAC address, VLAN ID, IP address, MTU, port state, port speed, port type, and port group for each virtual NIC and physical adapter.

The correct answer is to enable the OSPF toggle and to add an Area Definition for the Tier-0 gateway in the image. These two items are required to configure OSPF on the Tier-0 gateway, as explained in the web search results123.
