Task 12
An issue with the Tampa web servers has been reported. You would like to replicate and redirect the web traffic to a network monitoring tool outside Of the NSX-T environment to further analyze the traffic.
You are asked to configure traffic replication to the monitoring software for your Tampa web overlay segments with bi-directional traffic using this detail:
Complete the requested configuration.
Notes: Passwords are contained in the user_readme.txt. This task is not dependent on other tasks. This task should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Correct Answer:
See the Explanation part of the Complete Solution and step by step instructions Explanation:
To configure traffic replication to the monitoring software for your Tampa web overlay segments with bi-directional traffic, you need to follow these steps:
Log in to the NSX Manager UI with admin credentials. The default URL is https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.
Navigate to Networking > Segments and select the Tampa web overlay segment that you want to replicate the traffic from. For example, select Web-01 segment that you created in Task 2.
Click Port Mirroring > Set > Add Session and enter a name and an optional description for the port mirroring session. For example, enter Tampa-Web-Monitoring.
In the Direction section, select Bi-directional as the direction from the drop-down menu. This will replicate both ingress and egress traffic from the source to the destination.
In the Source section, click Set and select the VMs or logical ports that you want to use as the source of the traffic. For example, select Web-VM-01 and Web-VM-02 as the source VMs. Click Apply.
In the Destination section, click Set and select Remote L3 SPAN as the destination type from the drop-down menu. This will allow you to replicate the traffic to a remote destination outside of the NSX-T environment.
Enter the IP address of the destination device where you have installed the network monitoring software, such as 10.10.10.200.
Select an existing service profile from the drop-down menu or create a new one by clicking New Service Profile. A service profile defines the encapsulation type and other parameters for the replicated traffic.
Optionally, you can configure advanced settings such as TCP/IP stack, snap length, etc., for the port mirroring session.
Click Save and then Close to create the port mirroring session.
You have successfully configured traffic replication to the monitoring software for your Tampa web overlay segments with bi-directional traffic using NSX-T Manager UI.

Task 15
You have been asked to enable logging so that the global operations team can view inv Realize Log Insight that their Service Level Agreements are being met for all network traffic that is going in and out of the NSX environment. This NSX environment is an Active / Active two Data Center design utilizing N-VDS with BCP. You need to ensure successful logging for the production NSX-T environment.
You need to:
Verify via putty with SSH that the administrator can connect to all NSX-Transport Nodes. You will use the credentials identified in Putty (admin).
Verify that there is no current active logging enabled by reviewing that directory is empty -/var/log/syslog- Enable NSX Manager Cluster logging Select multiple configuration choices that could be appropriate success criteria Enable NSX Edge Node logging Validate logs are generated on each selected appliance by reviewing the "/var/log/syslog" Complete the requested task.
Notes: Passwords are contained in the user _ readme.txt. complete.
These task steps are dependent on one another. This task should take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Correct Answer:
See the Explanation part of the Complete Solution and step by step instructions Explanation:
To enable logging for the production NSX-T environment, you need to follow these steps:
Verify via putty with SSH that the administrator can connect to all NSX-Transport Nodes. You can use the credentials identified in Putty (admin) to log in to each transport node. For example, you can use the following command to connect to the sfo01w01en01 edge transport node: ssh admin@sfo01w01en01. You should see a welcome message and a prompt to enter commands.
Verify that there is no current active logging enabled by reviewing that directory is empty -/var/log/syslog-. You can use the ls command to list the files in the /var/log/syslog directory. For example, you can use the following command to check the sfo01w01en01 edge transport node: ls /var/log/syslog. You should see an empty output if there is no active logging enabled.
Enable NSX Manager Cluster logging. You can use the search_web("NSX Manager Cluster logging configuration") tool to find some information on how to configure remote logging for NSX Manager Cluster. One of the results is NSX-T Syslog Configuration Revisited - vDives, which provides the following steps:
Navigate to System > Fabric > Profiles > Node Profiles then select All NSX Nodes then under Syslog Servers click +ADD Enter the IP or FQDN of the syslog server, the Port and Protocol and the desired Log Level then click ADD Select multiple configuration choices that could be appropriate success criteri a. You can use the search_web("NSX-T logging success criteria") tool to find some information on how to verify and troubleshoot logging for NSX-T. Some of the possible success criteria are:
The syslog server receives log messages from all NSX nodes
The log messages contain relevant information such as timestamp, hostname, facility, severity, message ID, and message content The log messages are formatted and filtered according to the configured settings The log messages are encrypted and authenticated if using secure protocols such as TLS or LI-TLS Enable NSX Edge Node logging. You can use the search_web("NSX Edge Node logging configuration") tool to find some information on how to configure remote logging for NSX Edge Node. One of the results is Configure Remote Logging - VMware Docs, which provides the following steps:
Run the following command to configure a log server and the types of messages to send to the log server. Multiple facilities or message IDs can be specified as a comma delimited list, without spaces.
set logging-server <hostname-or-ip-address [:port]> proto <proto> level <level> [facility <facility>] [messageid <messageid>] [serverca <filename>] [clientca <filename>] [certificate <filename>] [key <filename>] [structured-data <structured-data>] Validate logs are generated on each selected appliance by reviewing the "/var/log/syslog". You can use the cat or tail commands to view the contents of the /var/log/syslog file on each appliance. For example, you can use the following command to view the last 10 lines of the sfo01w01en01 edge transport node: tail -n 10 /var/log/syslog. You should see log messages similar to this:
2023-04-06T12:34:56+00:00 sfo01w01en01 user.info nsx-edge[1234]: 2023-04-06T12:34:56Z nsx-edge[1234]: INFO: [nsx@6876 comp="nsx-edge" subcomp="nsx-edge" level="INFO" security="False"] Message from nsx-edge You have successfully enabled logging for the production NSX-T environment.
