Question 7
A company wants to implement a software-defined network solution with minimal impact to the existing environment.
What additional hardware, if any, is required when implementing VMware NSX?
A stateful inspection Firewall to take advantage of NSX’s built in Firewall protection
None. NSX is a completely non-disruptive solution.
Special VLAN configurations for accessing NSX.
At least two Layer 3 switches that must be converted to trunk mode.
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
NSX is a completely non-disruptive solution which can be deployed on any IP network from any vendor – both existing traditional networking models and next generation fabric architectures. The physical network infrastructure already in place is all that is required to deploy a software-defined data center with NSX.
