The correct answer is A. Using IPv4 as Auto Deploy will be able to boot hosts with a legacy BIOS. E. Using DHCP reservations for address allocations because providing fixed IP addresses through. VMware Auto Deploy best practices recommend IPv4 for legacy BIOS PXE boot compatibility and DHCP reservations to ensure hosts receive consistent IP addresses.
Question
A company has requested that a plan for Auto Deploy be built using VMware-recommended best practices for networking. Which two considerations adhere to VMware-recommended networking best practices for Auto Deploy? (Choose two.)
Options
- AUsing IPv4 as Auto Deploy will be able to boot hosts with a legacy BIOS.
- BUsing DHCP reservations for address allocations because providing fixed IP addresses through
- CUsing VLANs on the management network as it offers increased performance while hosts are
- DUsing IPv6 as Auto Deploy will be able to boot hosts with a legacy BIOS and UEFI.
- EUsing DHCP reservations for address allocations because providing fixed IP addresses through

Why each option
VMware Auto Deploy best practices recommend IPv4 for legacy BIOS PXE boot compatibility and DHCP reservations to ensure hosts receive consistent IP addresses.
IPv4 is the VMware-recommended protocol for Auto Deploy because PXE boot - used by legacy BIOS hosts - relies on IPv4 DHCP and TFTP, which are not supported in IPv6 PXE environments, making IPv4 required for broad host compatibility.
This choice is truncated in the exhibit but is not marked correct, indicating its rationale for DHCP reservations contains an inaccuracy or describes a non-recommended approach to fixed IP address assignment.
VLANs on the management network are not a VMware-documented Auto Deploy networking best practice for performance - the primary networking concern for Auto Deploy is reliable DHCP and TFTP connectivity, not VLAN segmentation for throughput.
Auto Deploy cannot boot legacy BIOS hosts using IPv6 because legacy BIOS PXE boot only supports IPv4 - only UEFI-based systems support IPv6 network boot, making this statement technically incorrect.
DHCP reservations are the VMware-recommended allocation method because they ensure each host always receives the same predetermined IP address on every boot cycle, combining the consistency of static addressing with the centralized control of DHCP infrastructure.
