An administrator needs to create an IP allocation policy for a multi-tiered application running in a vApp.
The IP addresses should be allocated automatically by vCenter Server, but should not be released even if a virtual machine is powered off.
Which IP allocation model should the administrator use for the vApp?
A. Static – Manual
B. Transient – IP Pool
C. DHCP
D. Static – IP Pool
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
With Static – IP Pool, the IP addresses are allocated automatically at power-on from a vCenter Server managed IP network range. These IP addresses will remain assigned even at power-off.
Incorrect Answers:
A: With Static – Manual no automatic allocation of the IP address is performed; the IP addresses are manually configured.
B: With Transient, the IP addresses are allocated automatically at power-on from a vCenter Server managed IP network range but the IP addresses are released when the VMs are powered off.
C: With DHCP the addresses are allocated automatically from a DHCP server, rather than a vCenter Server.
