(Exam Topic 1)
Two administrators (John and Chris) share admin responsibilities for an NSX deployment that is leveraging Centralized CLI as part of their management. Security requirements prohibit use of shared admin accounts in Site A.
Requirements:
NSX Manager: nsxmgr-01a.crop.local
New administrator accounts: "John" and "Chris"
Default password: VMware1!
Create accounts for John and Chris.
Use one of the newly created accounts to display all clusters enabled for the distributed firewall.
Use Putty's "Copy All to Clipboard" feature to paste the command and output to a text file dfw-NEW.txt on the ControlCenter desktop.
NOTE:
Screenshot is shown on how to use Putty's Copy all to Clipboard feature.

You have been tasked with enabling syslog on the NSX Manager (nsmgr-01a.corp.local) and all NSX Controllers.
Requirements:
vCenter: vcsa-01a.crop.local
NSX Manager A: nsxmgr-01a.corp.local
Password: VMware1!
Syslog Information:
Server: 192.168.110.24
Port: 514
Protocol: UDP
Header Information:
Authentication: Basic
Content-Type: application/xml
Enable syslog for NSX Manager.
Enable syslog for NSX controllers.
HOL LAB for Practice:
See the explanation part for complete solution.

Correct Answer:

SOLUTION:




Open API guide from desktop, scroll down for Controller Syslog URI.
In exam search function doesn't work so you should be familiar with the document.

In exam, user hostname instead of IP address (IP address wont work).
For version (2.0), also check API guide version, it could be 2.1 or 2.0 GET
https:// nsxmgr-01a.corp.local/api/2.0/vdn/controller/controller-1/syslog


Copy the required parameters from API guide or memorize.

Do the same for controller-2

Requirements:
vCenter: vcsa-01a.corp.local
Credentials: [email protected] / VMware1!
Components to backup:
vDS Portgroup that the controllers utilize.
NSX Firewall configuration.
Backup file name: vdsPortGroup-backup-NEW.zip, nsxfw-backup-NEW.xml
Backup file location: Desktop of the ControlCenter.
Security Policy:
File to import: sec-policy-blueprint located on the desktop of the ControlCenter.
Backup only the vDS portgroup that the NSX Controllers utilize.
Backup the NSX Firewall configuration.
Import the sec-policy.blueprint file
Ensure requirements are met.

Configure the Layer 3 connectivity between the newly created Dev-segments by assigning them to a new DLR named Dev-DLR-NEW.
Requirements:
vCenter: vcsa-01a.corp.local
Ccredentials: [email protected] . VMware1!
Default GW for Dev-subnets:
Dev-Web-Tier-01-NEW172.16.10.1/24
Dev-App-Tier-01-NEW172.16.20.1/24
Dev-DB-Tier-01-NEW172.16.30.1/24
DLR Settings:
DLR Name: Dev-DLR-NEW
Uplink IP Address: 192.168.6.5/30
Interface: Dev-Transit
Password: VMware1!WMware1!
Cluster: Management & Edge Cluster
Ensure east-west routing has been optimized.
The control plane failover should begin 15 seconds on logical switch HA-VXLAN.
Ensure secure shell is available.
Connect the Web, App and DB virtual machines to their respective dev tiers.
Dev-web-01, Dev-web-02a, Dev-web-04a
Dev-app-01a
Dev-db-01a
HOL LAB for Practice:
also deploy Distributed logical router DLR in the same way the lab.
See the explanation part for complete solution.

Correct Answer:

SOLUTION:
Add VMs to respective Logical Switches:







































No need for below
To change the control plane failover within 15 seconds use the RESTClient as shown below or the Postman application in Chrome.
Open Firefox

Note down the edge id of newly created DLR (in exam its edge-12)

There will be a NSX API guide on desktop and look for "declaredeadtime".
Or memorize below string:
URL: https://192.168.110.15/api/4.0/edges/edge-10/highavailability/config Note: in exam its edge-12 but make sure!


Change the value to 15

In the Dev environment, you have the application and database servers on separate networks created previously. Configure inbound only network security to allow only Dev application servers access to Dev database servers using MYSQL service port.
Requirements:
vCenter: vcsa-01a.corp.local
Credentials: [email protected] / VMware1!
Service Port: MYSQL
Networks: Dev-App-Tier-01-NEW and Dev-DB-Tier-01-NEW
Credentials for Dev VMs: root / VMware1!
This rule should be in its own "DB security-NEW" section.
Ensure inbound only network security allows Dev application servers access to Dev database servers.
This rule should not be prpogated to all NSX prepared clusters.
This rule should be created in a way that any new virtual machines on App and DB segments will be secured.
This rule should be created with the fewest rule(s) possible.
All other servers should be denied.
Ensure inbound security requirements are met.
HOL LAB for Practice:
See the explanation part for complete solution.

Correct Answer:

SOLUTION:
Firewall -> add new Section:



Add new Rule under newly created Section:

Edit Rule Name:


Source = Dev-App-Tier-01-NEW (LS)

Destination = Dev-DB-Tier-01-NEW (LS)

Service = MySQL

Allow - In

Applied To: Logical Switch = Dev-DB-Tier-01-NEW

Add another rule = To Deny


Set destination: Logical Switch = Dev-DB-Tier-01-NEW


Bring to last the Deny rule:
