Which components are required to enable layer 2 bridging? (Choose two.)
A. Distributed firewall rule to allow layer 2 traffic in the bridge.
B. Deployed Logical Switch.
C. Deployed Logical Router.
D. VLAN trunk configured on logical switch.

ESXi host. Since the L2 bridge instance configuration is always associated with the configuration of a specific DLR, the active bridge functionality is performed by the specific ESXi hosts where the active control VM for that DLR is running.

I believe the answer is B and C – you specify a Logical Switch and the DVS Portgroup when you configure the Bridge on the DLR and unless you have defined a Ethernet based firewall rule on the DFW traffic would flow because it is all layer 2. So I cannot understand why A would be correct.
I say B and C is logic. On the Distributed firewall there is a default rule any, any, any, alow so no configuration is required. But the question is required components, the default firewall rule is a required component but also is the Logical Switch (bridge is only supported between VLAN and VXLAN) So you need a Logical Switch. So the question must be: Choose three 🙂
And if I must choose only two, I say B and C.

If “A” is true we should include that option on every question that ask for connectivity. B and C are correct because you should have a Logical Switch to associate with the bridging session.

A has nothing to do with this question. It’s definitely required to have a DLR and Logical switch.
“Prerequisites: An NSX logical router must be deployed in your environment.

7. Select the logical switch that you want to create a bridge for. (meaning, you have a logical switch)
