1. Understanding Assumptions in NSX Design
* Assumptions are conditions that are expected to be true but have not been verified.
* A good NSX design requires assumptions to be validated before deployment to avoid unexpected issues.
2. Why "Customer Assumes NSX Will Integrate with Existing Infrastructure" is Correct (A)
* Integration with existing infrastructure (e.g., physical networks, firewalls, cloud providers) must be validated.
* Assuming compatibility without testing can cause deployment failures or feature limitations.
* Common integration challenges include: VLAN scalability, MTU size mismatch, or unsupported physical networking hardware.
3. Why Other Options are Incorrect
* (B - Requirement for Multi-Hypervisor Support):
* This is a defined requirement, not an assumption.
* (C - Scalability Needs):
* This is a business requirement, not an assumption.
* (D - Limited Resources):
* This is a constraint that affects the deployment, not an assumption.
4. NSX Design Considerations for Infrastructure Integration
* Perform a thorough assessment of existing hardware and network compatibility.
* Validate the interoperability of NSX with third-party services (firewalls, storage, monitoring tools).
* Plan for phased integration testing to reduce risks.
