An administrator configures a new NSX overlay segment for virtual desktops using default segment policies. Desktops must obtain IPv4 leases from a DHCP server on the same segment. What must the administrator do?
A.
Edit default segment security profile, disable DHCP server block, and apply.
B.
Clone default segment security profile, disable DHCP server block, and apply.
C.
Clone default IP discovery profile, disable DHCP server block, and apply.
D.
Edit default IP discovery profile, disable DHCP server block, and apply.
In NSX 4.x integrated with VCF 9.0, default segment security profiles block DHCP servers by default. The NSX Admin Guide states: “To allow DHCP servers on a segment, edit the applied segment security profile and set the DHCP Server Block option to NO.”
Cloning profiles (B, C) is an optional best practice but not required for functionality. The DHCP server block resides in the security profile, not the IP discovery profile, making C and D incorrect. Therefore, the required step is to edit the default segment security profile, set DHCP Server Block = NO, and apply it.
