Defend Security for VCF 5.x Administrator/
6V0-22.25: VMware Avi Load Balancer
30.x Administrator –Exam Questions with
Detailed Explanations.
Q1. Which component in the Avi architecture is responsible for
the actual data plane processing of traffic?
A) Avi Controller
B) Avi Service Engine
C) Avi CLI Shell
D) Avi Analytics Engine
Answer: B) Avi Service Engine
Rationale: The Service Engine (SE) is the data plane component
that processes application traffic, terminates sessions, applies
policies, and performs load balancing. The Controller is the
,Page 2 of 166
management/control plane that configures SEs and aggregates
analytics.
Q2. An organization requires active-active load balancing across
multiple Service Engines for a single Virtual Service. Which Avi
feature enables this capability?
A) Active-Standby HA
B) Elastic HA with scale-out
C) GSLB Active-Active
D) Service Engine Group HA
Answer: B) Elastic HA with scale-out
Rationale: Elastic HA with scale-out allows a Virtual Service to be
distributed across multiple active Service Engines simultaneously.
This provides horizontal scaling where traffic is load-balanced
across all SEs in the scale-out pool, unlike active-standby where
only one SE handles traffic.

Q3. What value does integrating Avi with VMware Aria
Operations (formerly vRealize Operations) provide?
A) Real-time key rotation for Avi SEs
B) Automated certificate renewal across all VMs
C) Enhanced visibility into VIP usage, application health, and
latency metrics
D) Auto-scaling of virtual machines on NSX-T Edge
Answer: C) Enhanced visibility into VIP usage, application
health, and latency metrics
Rationale: Integration with vROps provides enhanced visibility by
bringing Avi metrics (VIP usage, application health, latency) into
vROps dashboards for a unified view of the environment.
Q4. In the Avi architecture, which component is responsible for
centralized management and analytics?
, Page 4 of 166
A) Service Engine (SE)
B) Avi Controller
C) NSX Manager
D) vCenter Server
Answer: B) Avi Controller
Rationale: The Avi Controller serves as the centralized
management, control, and analytics plane, aggregating data
from all Service Engines. The Controller cluster runs in an active-
active configuration.
Q5. Which statements about the Avi Controller cluster are true?
(Choose two)
A) A controller cluster can have a maximum of 3 nodes
B) Only one node in the cluster actively handles API requests
C) All three nodes are active and can handle API requests
