Correct Answer: BD

Two tools that are used for centralized logging in VMware NSX are Syslog Server and VMware Aria Operations for Logs. Syslog Server is a standard protocol for sending log messages from various network devices to a centralized server1. VMware NSX supports syslog for long term retention of logs and all NSX components can send syslog messages to a configured syslog server2. VMware Aria Operations for Logs is a VMware product that provides intelligent log analytics for NSX3. It provides monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities and customizable dashboards for network virtualization, flow analysis, and alerts3. The other options are incorrect because they are not tools for centralized logging in VMware NSX. VMware Aria Operations is a VMware product that provides operations management and automation for NSX4, but it is not the same as VMware Aria Operations for Logs. VMware Aria Automation is a VMware product that provides automation and orchestration for NSX5, but it is not related to logging. VMware Aria Operations for Networks is not a valid product name.

Correct Answer: D

To activate Malware Prevention on the NSX Application Platform, the steps are:

In the NSX Manager UI, select System and in the Configuration section, select NSX Application Platform.

Navigate to the Features section, locate the NSX Malware Prevention feature card, and click Activate or anywhere in the card.

In the NSX Malware Prevention activation window, select one of the available cloud regions from which you can access the NSX Advanced Threat Prevention cloud service.

Click Run Prechecks. This precheck process can take some time as the system validates that the minimum license requirement is met and that it is eligible for use with the NSX Advanced Threat Prevention cloud service. The system also

validates that the selected cloud region is reachable. Click Activate. This step can take some time1. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The other options are incorrect because they involve activating or deploying NSX Network Detection and

Response, which is a different feature from Malware Prevention. References: Activate NSX Malware Prevention

Correct Answer: C

The log for a firewall rule on an ESXi transport node is stored in the /var/log/dfwpktlogs.log file. This file contains information about the packets that match or do not match the firewall rules, such as the source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, actions, and rule IDs. The log file can be viewed using the esxcli network firewall get command or the vSphere Client. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/administration/GUID-D57429A1-A0A9-42BE-A299-0C3C3546ABF3.html

Correct Answer: C

To enable stateful active-active SNAT on a Tier-0 or Tier-1 gateway, you must configure an Interface Group for the NSX Edge uplinks. An Interface Group is a logical grouping of NSX Edge interfaces that belong to the same failure domain. A failure domain is a set of NSX Edge nodes that share the same physical network infrastructure and are subject to the same network failures. By configuring an Interface Group, you can ensure that the stateful services are distributed across different failure domains and can recover from network failures1

Correct Answer: B

An overlay segment is a layer 2 broadcast domain that is implemented as a logical construct in the NSX-T Data Center software. Overlay segments do not require any configuration on the physical switches, and they allow for optimal east/ west communication between workloads on different ESXi hosts. Overlay segments use the Geneve protocol to encapsulate and decapsulate traffic between the hosts. Overlay segments are created and managed by the NSX Manager. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/administration/GUID-316E5027-E588-455C-88AD-A7DA930A4F0B.html

Correct Answer: D

According to the VMware documentation1, the clock icon appears on the firewall policy section that you want to have a time window. By clicking the clock icon, you can create or select a time window that applies to all the rules in that policy section. The other options are incorrect because they either do not exist or are not related to the time-based rule feature. There is no option to set a time-based rule in the rule itself, as it is a policy-level setting. There is also an option to set a time-based rule in the NSX UI, so it does not require using the command line interface. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/administration/GUID-8572496E-A60E-48C3-A016-4A081AC80BE7.html

Correct Answer: D

An alarm can be suppressed for a specific duration in hours. According to the VMware NSX documentation, an alarm can be in one of the following states: Open, Acknowledged, Suppressed, or Resolved12 An alarm in a Suppressed state means that the status reporting for this alarm has been disabled by the user for a user-specified duration12 When a user moves an alarm into a Suppressed state, they are prompted to specify the duration in hours. After the specified duration passes, the alarm state reverts to Open. However, if the system determines the condition has been corrected, the alarm state changes to Resolved13 To learn more about how to manage alarm states in NSX, you can refer to the following resources: VMware NSX Documentation: Managing Alarm States 1 VMware NSX Documentation: View Alarm Information 2 VMware NSX Intelligence Documentation: Manage NSX Intelligence Alarm States https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSXIntelligence/1.2/user-guide/GUID-EBD3C5A8-F9AB-4A22-BA40-92D61850C1E6.html

Correct Answer: B

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.
