VMware VMware Certification 3V0-21.23 New Questions

To physically separate the vSAN network traffic from other management network flows, the architect should configure the workload domain with multiple physical adapters. This will ensure that the vSAN traffic (which uses specific network ports and protocols) is isolated from other management traffic. By using separate physical adapters, the network traffic for each type can be kept distinct, reducing the risk of congestion and ensuring that each traffic type has dedicated bandwidth.

Network I/O Control (NIOC) is a key feature available with distributed virtual switches (vDS) that allows administrators to prioritize and allocate bandwidth to specific network traffic types. It ensures that business-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and maintain a consistent quality of service (QoS). This solution meets the requirement to ensure optimal network bandwidth allocation and service consistency.

vSphere Lifecycle Manager helps reduce operational expenditure (OPEX) by automating the patching and management of the vSphere environment. It provides centralized management for host updates,ensuring consistency across the environment and reducing the manual effort required for ongoing operations. This leads to reduced operational overhead, which directly addresses the requirement to reduce OPEX.

VMware NSX: NSX provides a centralized platform for network virtualization and security, which aligns with the requirement for enforcing virtual network security policies. It can manage network segmentation, security policies, and micro-segmentation across the entire environment, including both virtual machines and containerized applications.

Distributed Firewalls: NSX's distributed firewall allows for micro-segmentation, meaning that network access is denied between workloads by default, and access controls can be applied based on security policies. This meets the requirement of denying network access by default.

Port Mirroring: Port mirroring in NSX can integrate with the security team's network monitoring solutions. It enables the security team to capture traffic for monitoring and analysis, addressing the requirement for network monitoring support.
