2V0-13.25 Sample Questions & Answers
Planning and designing the solution, from gathering business objectives to building logical designs, takes most of the weighting, next to telling conceptual, logical and physical design apart, and choosing between VCF architecture options.

- Question 1Beginner
Plan and Design the VMware Solution · Security Design
During the conceptual design phase, a stakeholder mentions that the organization utilizes an existing external Identity Provider (IdP) via OIDC that must be integrated with the new VCF environment for Single Sign-On (SSO).
Which VCF component is primarily responsible for configuring and managing this identity integration?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In VCF 9.0, vCenter Server (specifically the vCenter Single Sign-On service) is the primary integration point for external Identity Providers, including OIDC and LDAP sources, which then propagate authentication capabilities across the SDDC.
- Question 2Intermediate
Plan and Design the VMware Solution · VCF Physical Design
An architect is designing the physical network for a VCF Management Domain. The customer's top-of-rack (ToR) switches support Layer 3 routing. The design requirement is to minimize the complexity of spanning Layer 2 VLANs across multiple racks.
Which network design decision supports this requirement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Application Virtual Networks (AVN) encapsulate management traffic in overlay segments. These segments are routed via NSX Edges which peer with the physical network using BGP. This removes the need to span management VLANs across racks, as the underlay only needs to provide IP connectivity (TEP VLANs) which can be routed.
- Question 3Intermediate
Plan and Design the VMware Solution · Performance Design
A customer requires a VCF design that supports 5,000 concurrent VDI users. The VDI workload is write-intensive. The architect is selecting the storage architecture for the Workload Domain.
Which design decision provides the highest theoretical write performance for this scenario?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
vSAN ESA is designed for high-performance NVMe devices. It removes the disk groups construct and uses a single-tier log-structured file system that provides significantly higher write throughput and lower latency compared to OSA.

VMware Products and Solutions · VCF Architecture Options
Which TWO statements correctly describe the characteristics of a VCF Standard Architecture? (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: C, D
Standard Architecture physically separates management functions into a dedicated Management Domain, isolating them from customer workloads.
In Standard Architecture, user/tenant workloads are deployed into one or more VI Workload Domains, distinct from the Management Domain.
- Question 5Intermediate
Plan and Design the VMware Solution · Workload Migration Strategy
An architect needs to design a migration strategy for moving 500 VMs from a legacy 3-tier environment to a new VCF instance. The business requires minimal downtime and the ability to rollback quickly if issues occur. The network bandwidth between sites is 10Gbps.
Which HCX migration method is most appropriate?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
RAV combines the benefits of Bulk Migration (initial replication) and vMotion (live switchover). It allows for large-scale replication with zero-downtime cutover (or near-zero), fitting the requirement for minimal downtime and rollback capability (by not cutting over until ready).

Plan and Design the VMware Solution · Security Design
A financial company requires that all administrative access to the VCF Management Domain be logged and audited. They also require that no single administrator can delete backups.
Which two design decisions support these requirements? (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: A, C
RBAC ensures that administrators only have the permissions necessary for their role, preventing a single admin from having total control (like deleting backups if they are not in that specific role).
Centralized logging to an external, immutable source ensures that audit trails cannot be tampered with by local administrators, satisfying the audit requirement.
- Question 7Beginner
IT Architectures, Technologies, Standards · Requirements, Assumptions, Constraints, Risks
An architect is documenting the risks for a proposed VCF design. The customer has chosen to use a single Internet Service Provider (ISP) for their hybrid cloud connectivity due to budget constraints.
How should this be documented in the risk register?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Since the customer is aware of the single point of failure but chose it due to budget (a constraint), they are accepting the risk of connectivity loss if that ISP fails. It is not transferred or avoided.
- Question 8Intermediate
Plan and Design the VMware Solution · VCF Logical Design
True or False: In a VCF 9.0 design, the Management Domain can be decommissioned and recreated without affecting the running workloads in VI Workload Domains.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The Management Domain contains the SDDC Manager, vCenter Servers, and NSX Managers that control the VI Workload Domains. While workloads might continue running briefly, the management plane would be gone, and dependencies on shared services (like NSX Managers often hosted in Mgmt) would cause critical failures. You cannot decommission the Management Domain while retaining VI Domains.
