A company is using a third-party monitoring tool that needs to receive NSX alerts and events in real-time. Which integration method should they use?

Use the NSX packet capture feature to send captured packets to the third-party tool.

Configure syslog forwarding to send NSX logs to the third-party tool.

Use the NSX Manager UI to manually export alerts to the third-party tool.

Schedule a script to run 'curl' commands against the NSX API to fetch alerts periodically.

What is the purpose of collecting and analyzing NSX logs?

To identify errors and events that help diagnose issues

To capture network traffic for security analysis

An automation engineer is building a script to periodically check the health of all NSX Edge nodes and report any issues. They want to use the NSX API to retrieve the health status. Which tool should they use to make the API calls?

Use 'tcpdump' to capture health check packets.

Use 'curl' from the script to call the NSX API endpoints for Edge node health.

Use 'nsxcli' on each Edge node to check its health.

Use the NSX Manager UI to manually check the health of each Edge node.

A network admin is troubleshooting dropped traffic between two VMs on the same NSX-T segment. They suspect the issue is at the distributed firewall (DFW) layer. Which tool should they use to capture traffic at the hypervisor level to see if the DFW is dropping the packets?

Run tcpdump on the source VM's guest OS to capture packets sent by the VM.

Collect the DFW logs from the NSX Manager and search for drop events.

Use the NSX packet capture feature from the NSX UI, selecting the source and destination VMs.

Use the 'vdl2' command from the ESXi CLI to view the DFW rules and check for drops.

An NSX administrator is troubleshooting a problem where a VM cannot communicate with a service on another segment. They have already checked the DFW rules and they are correct. They suspect the issue might be with the routing on the Tier-1 gateway. Which tool should they use to check the routing table on the Tier-1 gateway?

Run 'tcpdump' on the Tier-1 gateway to capture routing updates.

Use the NSX Manager UI to view the Tier-1 gateway's routing table.

SSH to the Tier-1 gateway and run 'get route' from the NSX CLI.

Use 'curl' to call the NSX API to retrieve the routing table.
