1. Understanding Customer Requirements vs. Constraints
Customer requirementsarebusiness or technical needsthat must be met within the NSX solution design.
Constraintsare limitations (e.g., budget, hardware, personnel) that must be worked around but do not define the primary objective.
2. Why "Implementing Segmentation for Security" is the Correct Answer (A)
Segmentation improves security posture and compliance(e.g., PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA).
Micro-segmentation with NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) prevents lateral movement of threats.
It is a functional requirement, meaning the NSX solution must be designed to meet this security goal.
3. Why Other Options are Incorrect
(B - Budget Limitation):
Budget is a constraint, not a functional requirement.
(C - Assumption of NSX Integration):
(D - Limited Personnel or Hardware):
This is a deployment constraint, not a requirement.
4. NSX Design Considerations for Network Segmentation
Use NSX Distributed Firewall for micro-segmentation.
Define security groups based on workloads, users, or application tiers.
Ensure policies are aligned with compliance frameworks.
