An administrator configures a new NSX overlay segment for virtual desktops using default segment policies.

In NSX 4.x integrated with VCF 9.0, default segment security profiles block DHCP servers by default. The NSX Admin Guide states: “To allow DHCP servers on a segment, edit the applied segment security profile and set the DHCP Server Block option to NO.”

Cloning profiles (B, C) is an optional best practice but not required for functionality. The DHCP server block resides in the security profile, not the IP discovery profile, making C and D incorrect. Therefore, the required step is to edit the default segment security profile, set DHCP Server Block = NO, and apply it.
