Question 15 - VMware 3V0-25.25 Exam Questions [May 2026 Update]

Q: 15

DRAG DROP An administrator was asked to explain the characteristic and requirements of Centralized Connectivity Mode which is planned to be configured in one of the workload domains in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment. Drag and drop four options from the Options list on the left and place them into the Centralized Connectivity Mode on the right in any order. (Choose four.)

Requires a dedicated VLAN and subnet to connect the Transit Gateway with the Tor switch.
It can be configured after the creation of a workload domain.
Requires the deployment of an NSX Edge cluster to host the Tier-0 gateway.
It can be configured during the deployment of the workload domain.
It supports stateful services configuration.
It is suitable for environments where that require a streamlined network with limited NSX networking services.
It is required to use All Apps Org functionality in VCF Automation.
DHCP and external IP services are the only services supported in this mode.

Correct Answer:

Centralized Connectivity Mode Target 1: C. Requires the deployment of an NSX Edge cluster to host the Tier-0 gateway. Target 2: D. It can be configured during the deployment of the workload domain. Target 3: E. It supports stateful services configuration. Target 4: F. It is suitable for environments where that require a streamlined network with limited NSX networking services.

Explanation

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), Centralized Connectivity Mode is a specialized network architecture designed for specific workload domains. Unlike a fully distributed routing model, it relies heavily on centralized edge resources, making it suitable for environments needing limited NSX networking services without full-scale distributed transit gateways. Because north-south traffic is funneled through specific Service Routers on the Edge nodes, this mode seamlessly supports stateful services configuration (e.g., NAT, load balancing, firewalling). To function, it inherently requires the deployment of an NSX Edge cluster to host the Tier-0 gateway, acting as the centralized egress point to the physical top-of-rack (ToR) switches. Finally, administrators can configure this mode natively during the deployment of the workload domain through standard SDDC Manager workflows.
