VMware 6V0-22.25 Exam - Topic 2 Question 8 Discussion

An existing Layer 7 Virtual Service is terminating SSL/TLS with WAF enabled. How would an administrator add support for SMTP on the same FQDN and Virtual IP?
C) Create a second Virtual Service that reuses the same Virtual IP as the L7 SSL/TLS Virtual Service with separate listening ports, an L4 Application Profile, and a back-end SMTP pool
A) Create a second Virtual Service and IP for SMTP, and add a new record in DNS to handle SMTP separately
B) Add the SMTP listening ports with a separate L4 Application Profile to the same L7 SSL/TLS Virtual Service, and disable destination port translation to the existing server pool
D) Add the SMTP listening ports with a separate L4 Application Profile to the same L7 SSL/TLS Virtual Service, and use content switching to select the SMTP pool based on inbound port/protocol

Suggested Answer: C

Avi Load Balancer supports sharing a single VIP across multiple Virtual Services when the Virtual Services use different listener ports. This is the correct design when different application protocols must be served on the same IP address but require different profiles, pools, and processing behavior. An existing Layer 7 HTTPS Virtual Service with SSL termination and WAF should not be converted into a mixed L7/L4 object for SMTP. SMTP should use its own Virtual Service with an appropriate Layer 4 profile and backend SMTP pool. Broadcom documentation specifically states that a single VIP can be shared across multiple Virtual Services by choosing different ports for each Virtual Service. Therefore, the correct approach is to create a second Virtual Service reusing the same VIP, with separate SMTP listener ports, L4 profile, and SMTP pool.

I recall that reusing the same Virtual IP could simplify things, but I can't remember if that's allowed for different protocols.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like adding SMTP ports to the existing Virtual Service could work, but I'm not entirely confident.

I think option D sounds familiar; it might be about using content switching to direct traffic based on the protocol.

I remember something about using separate Virtual Services for different protocols, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach here.
