VCP-VVF Deploy Configure And Operate Vvf Practice Question
An administrator is configuring a new Supervisor cluster in vSphere Foundation 9.0 using vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS). Which networking parameter must be verified prior to enabling the Supervisor?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
A dedicated, non-overlapping management network IP block must be allocated for the Supervisor control plane VMs.
Enabling the Supervisor cluster requires an active VDS with proper NSX or vSphere Distributed Services Engine integration, specifically ensuring that edge/management segment subnets and IP pools are pre-allocated for control plane VMs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The underlying vSphere Distributed Switch must be upgraded to version 6.5 minimum, with LLDP disabled globally.
Why it's wrong here
VDS version requirements for modern supervisors are significantly higher (VDS 8.0+), and LLDP should typically remain enabled.
- ✗
All ESXi hosts in the cluster must have at least four physical uplinks configured in an active/active port channel.
Why it's wrong here
While redundant uplinks are a best practice, a specific count of four is not a hard prerequisite for enabling the Supervisor.
- ✗
IPv6 must be enforced as the primary transport protocol for all internal Supervisor control plane communication.
Why it's wrong here
IPv4 is fully supported and commonly used; IPv6 is not a mandatory protocol for Supervisor control plane communications.
- ✓
A dedicated, non-overlapping management network IP block must be allocated for the Supervisor control plane VMs.
Why this is correct
The Supervisor requires dedicated IP addresses for its control plane VMs that do not conflict with existing host IPs.
