What is the recommended method for IP address allocation for the management interface of VMware ESXi hosts in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment?
A.
Dynamic IP addresses assigned via DHCP without any reservations
B.
Dynamic IP addresses assigned via DHCP with a reservation based on MAC address
C.
Static IP addresses assigned manually
D.
Static IP address assigned using VMware NSX IP Pools
Allocate statically assigned IP addresses and host names across all ESXi hosts in the default management cluster.
Ensures stability across the VMware Cloud Foundation instance, makes it simpler to maintain and track, and to implement a DNS configuration.

AI Overview
For ESXi management interfaces, using a static IP address assigned through VMware NSX IP Pools is generally considered the better approach, especially for production environments. While manual static IP assignment is possible, NSX IP Pools offer centralized management, IP address tracking, and integration with other NSX features. This allows for more efficient network management and automated provisioning in environments with NSX.
