A. B. C. D.C.
When deploying a highly available NSX Management Cluster with a VIP in a production environment, the minimum number of IPs required is four (4).
The NSX Management Cluster is a group of NSX Manager nodes that work together to provide a highly available and scalable management plane for the NSX-T environment. The VIP (Virtual IP) is a virtual IP address that is associated with the NSX Manager cluster and is used as the management IP address.
Here are the details of the IP requirements for a highly available NSX Management Cluster with a VIP:
VIP IP Address: One IP address is required for the VIP. This IP address is used as the management IP address for the NSX Manager cluster.
NSX Manager IP Addresses: Three IP addresses are required for the NSX Manager nodes. These IP addresses are used for the communication between NSX Manager nodes, and also for the communication with other NSX-T components such as NSX Edge nodes.
So, in total, four (4) IP addresses are required for a highly available NSX Management Cluster with a VIP in a production environment.
Option C, "4", is the correct answer.
