NSX Edge Registration Command

B.

Sure, I'd be happy to provide a detailed explanation of the command that registers an NSX Edge with the NSX Manager.

When an NSX administrator deploys an NSX Edge on a bare-metal server, the NSX Edge needs to be registered with the NSX Manager in order to be managed and controlled through the NSX Manager interface.

The command that registers an NSX Edge with the NSX Manager is:

B. join management-plane <nsx-manager-ip> username admin password <admin-password> thumbprint <nsx-manager-thumbprint>

Let's break down this command and explain each of its components:

• "join": This is the command that initiates the process of joining the NSX Edge with the NSX Manager.
• "management-plane": This indicates that the NSX Edge is joining the management plane of the NSX Manager. The management plane is responsible for managing and configuring the NSX components.
• "<nsx-manager-ip>": This is the IP address of the NSX Manager that the NSX Edge is joining.
• "username admin password <admin-password>": This specifies the username and password that will be used to authenticate the NSX Edge with the NSX Manager. In this case, the username is "admin" and the password is specified as "<admin-password>", which should be replaced with the actual password.
• "thumbprint <nsx-manager-thumbprint>": This specifies the thumbprint of the NSX Manager SSL certificate, which is used to authenticate the NSX Edge with the NSX Manager. The thumbprint should be replaced with the actual thumbprint of the NSX Manager SSL certificate.

In summary, the "join management-plane" command is used to register an NSX Edge with the NSX Manager, and it requires the NSX Manager IP address, admin username and password, and the thumbprint of the NSX Manager SSL certificate.
