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.
