VMware 3V0-41.22 Exam - Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

To deploy three layer 2 overlay-backed segments and one layer 2 VLAN-backed segment, you need to follow these steps:

Log in to the NSX Manager UI with admin credentials. The default URL is https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.

Navigate to Networking > Segments and click Add Segment.

Enter a name for the segment, such as Web-01.

Select Tier-1 as the connectivity option and choose an existing tier-1 gateway from the drop-down menu or create a new one by clicking New Tier-1 Gateway.

Enter the gateway IP address of the subnet in a CIDR format, such as 192.168.10.1/24.

Select an overlay transport zone from the drop-down menu, such as Overlay-TZ.

Optionally, you can configure advanced settings such as DHCP, Metadata Proxy, MAC Discovery, or QoS for the segment by clicking Set Advanced Configs.

Click Save to create the segment.

Repeat steps 2 to 8 for the other two overlay-backed segments, such as App-01 and DB-01, with different subnet addresses, such as 192.168.20.1/24 and 192.168.30.1/24.

To create a VLAN-backed segment, click Add Segment again and enter a name for the segment, such as Legacy-01.

Select Tier-0 as the connectivity option and choose an existing tier-0 gateway from the drop-down menu or create a new one by clicking New Tier-0 Gateway.

Enter the gateway IP address of the subnet in a CIDR format, such as 10.10.10.1/24.

Select a VLAN transport zone from the drop-down menu, such as VLAN-TZ, and enter the VLAN ID for the segment, such as 100.

Optionally, you can configure advanced settings such as DHCP, Metadata Proxy, MAC Discovery, or QoS for the segment by clicking Set Advanced Configs.

Click Save to create the segment.

To apply a segment security profile to block DHCP requests on the segments, navigate to Networking > Segments > Segment Profiles and click Add Segment Profile.

Select Segment Security as the profile type and enter a name and an optional description for the profile.

Toggle the Server Block and Server Block - IPv6 buttons to enable DHCP filtering for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic on the segments that use this profile.

Click Save to create the profile.

Navigate to Networking > Segments and select the segments that you want to apply the profile to.

Click Actions > Apply Profile and select the segment security profile that you created in step 18.

Click Apply to apply the profile to the selected segments.

You have successfully deployed three layer 2 overlay-backed segments and one layer 2 VLAN-backed segment with DHCP filtering using NSX-T Manager UI.
