Question
Refer to the exhibit. An MSP is designing a solution for a merger of Customer A and Customer B to Customer A's enterprise. Due to overlapping IP addresses and security requirements, the segments with the same names between Customer A and Customer A cannot be merged. Based on the graphic and the requirements, how many new segments need to be configured in the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator?
Exhibit
Options
- A4 segments
- B2 segments
- C6 segments
- D5 segments

Explanation
D is correct because when Customer B is merged into Customer A's enterprise, all of Customer B's segments must be recreated as new segments in the Orchestrator - but the Global Segment already exists by default in Customer A, so it is not counted as "new." If Customer B has 6 total segments (including the Global Segment), then 5 new segments must be configured, covering all of Customer B's non-Global segments that cannot be merged due to IP overlap and security policy conflicts.
Why the distractors fail:
- C (6) is tempting but wrong - it incorrectly counts the Global Segment as a new segment, when it already exists in every VMware SD-WAN enterprise by default.
- A (4) undercounts, likely from misreading the exhibit and missing one segment that must remain isolated.
- B (2) drastically undercounts, perhaps confusing "overlapping-named segments" with the full set that requires new configuration.
Memory tip: "Global is free - subtract one." In VMware SD-WAN MSP merger scenarios, always identify the total segments from the incoming customer, then subtract the Global Segment (it's pre-existing). Whatever remains is your new segment count.
