VMware 2V0-21.23 Exam - Topic 5 Question 46 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 2V0-21.23 exam

Question #: 46
Topic #: 5

administrator successfully installs VMware ESXi onto the first host of a new vSphere duster but makes no additional configuration changes. When attempting to log into the vSphere Host Client using the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the host, the administrator receives the following error message:

''server Not Found --we can't connect to the server at esxit101.corp.local.''

* Host FQDN: esxi 101. Corp. local

* Management VLAN ID: 10

* DHCP: No

* Management IP Address: 172.16.10.101/24

* Management IP Gateway: 172.16.10.1

* Corporate DNS Servers: 172.16.10.5, 172.16.10.6

* DNS Domain: corp.local

Which three high level tasks should the administrator complete, at a minimum, in order to successfully log into the

the vSphsrs Host Client using the FQDN for the exxi101 and complete the configuration (Choose three.)

AEnsure a DNS A Record Is created for the VMware ESXI host on the corporate DNS servers,

BUpdate the VMware ESXI Management Network DNS configuration to use the corporate DNS servers for name, resolution,

CUpdate the VMware ESXI Management Network IPv4 configuration to use a static a IPv4 address.

DConfigure at least two network adapters for the VMware ESXI Management Network.

ESet the value of the VMware ESXI Management Network VLAN ID to 10.

FDisable IPv6 for the VMware ESXI Management Network.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B

To successfully log into the vSphere Host Client using the FQDN for the ESXi host, the administrator needs to ensure a DNS A Record is created for the VMware ESXi host on the corporate DNS servers, which maps its FQDN to its IP address; and update the VMware ESXi Management Network DNS configuration to use the corporate DNS servers for name resolution, which allows resolving its FQDN.

Disabling IPv6? Not sure that's necessary.

Agreed, without DNS it won't resolve!

Definitely need a DNS A Record for that FQDN.

Wait, shouldn't the IP be static already?

Updating the DNS config is a must!

I feel like configuring network adapters is important, but I'm not sure if it's required just to log in. I guess it could help with redundancy later on.

This question feels familiar. I think we had a similar practice question where we had to configure network settings, but I can't recall if we needed to set the VLAN ID specifically.

I'm a bit unsure, but I think updating the DNS configuration on the ESXi Management Network might also be necessary for name resolution.

I remember we discussed the importance of DNS records in class. I think creating a DNS A Record for the ESXi host is definitely one of the first steps.

Alright, I've got a plan. First, I'll create the DNS A record, then update the ESXi management network to use the corporate DNS servers, and finally, set the static IP address. Should get me where I need to be.

Ah, I see. The static IP address is also important, so I'll need to make sure that's configured correctly too. Gotta cover all the bases here.

I think the key here is updating the ESXi management network configuration to use the corporate DNS servers. That should resolve the name resolution problem and allow me to connect using the FQDN.

Okay, let's see here. The error message indicates a DNS issue, so I'll definitely want to focus on that first. Ensuring a proper DNS record is created seems like a good starting point.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the information provided and think through the steps to get the ESXi host connected.

Haha, 'server Not Found'? Sounds like the admin needs to brush up on their ESXi networking skills.

Can't forget about setting a static IP address for the management network. Got to have that for a successful login.

I agree with Holley. We also need to update the VMware ESXI Management Network DNS configuration to use the corporate DNS servers for name resolution.
