1Which NSX component is responsible for the management plane and provides a single API entry point for all NSX configuration?

A.NSX Edge node

B.NSX Manager

C.Transport node

D.Global Manager

Explanation: NSX Manager is the centralized management component that hosts the API server, policy plane, and management plane. It provides the single API entry point and UI for all NSX configuration and is deployed as a cluster of three nodes for high availability.

2How many NSX Manager nodes are recommended for a production NSX 4.x deployment to provide high availability?

A.1 node

B.2 nodes

C.3 nodes

D.5 nodes

Explanation: A production NSX Manager cluster requires three nodes behind a virtual IP or external load balancer. Three nodes provide quorum-based high availability for the policy, management, and control planes.

3Which encapsulation protocol does NSX use for overlay segments in NSX 4.x?

A.VXLAN

B.GENEVE

C.GRE

D.STT

Explanation: NSX 4.x uses GENEVE (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) for overlay segments. GENEVE supports variable-length TLV metadata, which allows NSX to carry context such as security policy and service insertion data in the encapsulation header.

4What is the minimum MTU required end-to-end on the underlay physical network to support GENEVE-encapsulated overlay traffic in NSX 4.x?

A.1500

B.1600

C.1700

D.9000

Explanation: VMware recommends a minimum MTU of 1700 bytes on the physical underlay for NSX 4.x because GENEVE adds approximately 100 bytes of overhead to the original 1500-byte payload. Many designs use 9000 (jumbo) for headroom, but 1700 is the documented floor.

5Which two transport zone types are supported in NSX 4.x? (Choose the correct pair.)

A.Overlay and VXLAN

B.Overlay and VLAN

C.VLAN and GRE

D.Underlay and Overlay

Explanation: NSX 4.x supports two transport zone types: Overlay (for GENEVE-encapsulated tenant networks) and VLAN (for traditional VLAN-backed segments). A transport node may be associated with multiple transport zones of either type.

6Starting with NSX 4.x on ESXi 7.0 U3 and later, what is the supported host switch for new transport node deployments?

A.N-VDS

B.Standard vSwitch (vSS)

C.VDS 7.0 or later

D.Cisco Nexus 1000v

Explanation: In NSX 4.x, new ESXi transport nodes must use vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) version 7.0 or later. N-VDS is deprecated for ESXi hosts; only Edge transport nodes still use N-VDS internally.

7Which NSX object is used to provide centralized services such as N-S routing, NAT, gateway firewall, and load balancing?

A.Distributed Router

B.Tier-0 Gateway

C.Logical Switch

D.Service Insertion Profile

Explanation: A Tier-0 Gateway provides north-south connectivity between the NSX overlay and the physical network. It hosts BGP/OSPF, ECMP, NAT, gateway firewall, and other centralized services on Edge nodes.

8Which NSX gateway is typically used to connect tenant or workload segments and provides E-W routing closest to the workloads?

A.Tier-0 Gateway

B.Tier-1 Gateway

C.Service Gateway

D.Edge Gateway

Explanation: Tier-1 Gateways are typically used per tenant or per application tier. They connect overlay segments and provide a distributed routing instance on every transport node so that east-west traffic between segments stays inside the host whenever possible.

9An administrator wants Tier-1 to advertise its connected segments to Tier-0 so they can be redistributed into BGP. Which T1 setting must be enabled?

A.Edge cluster only

B.Route advertisement for connected segments

C.Local egress

D.Service insertion

Explanation: On a Tier-1 gateway, route advertisement types control which prefixes the T1 announces to the upstream T0. To expose connected overlay segments, you enable advertisement of connected segments and ports; the T0 then redistributes them into BGP.

10Which dynamic routing protocols are supported on a Tier-0 Gateway in NSX 4.x?

A.BGP and OSPF

B.EIGRP and RIP

C.IS-IS only

D.Static routes only

Explanation: Tier-0 Gateways in NSX 4.x support BGP and OSPF for dynamic routing peering with the physical fabric, in addition to static routes. Tier-1 gateways do not run dynamic routing toward T0 — they exchange routes via internal route advertisement.

About the NSX 4.x Professional V2 Exam

NSX 4.x Professional V2 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Lock in the DR/SR model — every gateway has a Distributed Router on every transport node and an optional Service Router on Edges.

2Memorize that NSX 4.x uses GENEVE encapsulation and requires at least MTU 1700 end-to-end on the underlay.

3Know which T0/T1 modes support stateful services: stateful = Active-Standby; stateless ECMP = Active-Active.

4Practice DFW with security groups, L7 App ID, and Identity Firewall — micro-segmentation is heavily represented.

5Understand the NSX 4.x upgrade order: Upgrade Coordinator runs Edges first, then hosts, then NSX Manager last.

6Use Traceflow for synthetic packet checks and Live Traffic Analysis for real flows; both are exam-favorite troubleshooting tools.

7Don't skip operations: SFTP backups, certificate replacement, RBAC, syslog forwarding, and support bundles are tested.
