1. The Exam

1.1 Purpose of Exam

The VMware Certified Implementation Expert – Network Virtualization (VCIX-NV) Exam tests potential

certification candidates on their skills and abilities installing, configuring and administering VMware NSX®

environments.

1.2 Number of Questions

The VCIX-NV Exam consists of 18 live lab activities and a short pre-exam survey consisting of 9 questions. Live

lab activities consist of multiple tasks, where each task is scored. The total number of activities provided is

based on the total number of tasks. Because of this, the actual number of lab activities may vary slightly

between exams.

1.3 Passing Score

The passing score for this exam is 300. The scale is from 100-500. Scaled scores are calculated using a

mathematical formula that considers a variety of factors, including the number and type of exam questions

included in a specific version of the exam. Because this combination may vary in different versions of the same

examination, scaled scores provide a fair score for each individual based on the version of the exam taken.

Points are awarded for the successful completion of each lab task. Most items on the exam are composed of

several tasks, and partial credit is awarded for those tasks that are completed successfully. Candidates can

choose to complete a task using different methods, as points are awarded based on successful completion,

not on the steps used to complete the task.

1.4 How Objectives Relate to Questions on the Exam

Objectives summarize what the test is designed to measure. Objectives are developed by Exam Developers

and SMEs based on identified tasks that relate to the job of administering a VMware NSX environment. Once

the initial development process is complete, these objectives are verified using an external group of

individuals in the actual job role. The external survey determines the number of questions for each objective,

which relates directly to the criticality of the task in the job role.

1.5 Languages

The exam is available in English.

1.6 Time Limit

The total time for this exam is 210 minutes. Candidates who take the VCIX-NV Exam and have a home address

in a country where English is not a primary language will have an additional 30 minutes added to the exam

time. This time extension is automatic, no additional action is required from the candidate. For the purposes

of this exam, countries where English is considered one of the primary languages are Australia, Belize,

Bermuda, Canada, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Ireland, Jersey, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and

the United States. An additional 15 minutes is provided to complete the survey questions and agreements.

The VMware Certified Implementation Expert – Network Virtualization exam is a live exam in which

candidates at a Pearson VUE testing center connect directly to VMware equipment specially configured for

their use in the exam. There is a limited amount of equipment available for these exams and to ensure a

candidate has the required equipment, the equipment is scheduled and partitioned for each VCIX-NV exam.

After each exam is given, the exam is automatically scored and then equipment is made available for the next

exam. The equipment for each candidate is partitioned and made available in a limited time window

corresponding to the candidate’s scheduled exam time. As a result, candidates can only be seated not more

than 15 minutes before and 45 minutes after the scheduled time.

1.7 Scheduling and Taking the Exam

This exam is administered through Pearson VUE. Details on the rules and procedures associated with

requesting authorization, registering, and sitting for the exam are available here. For the latest certification

news and more, please sign up for updates.

1.8 Certification Tracks

The VCXN610 Exam is a core component of the VCIX-NV certification. The certification requires a passing score

on the exam, and the candidate must hold a VMware Certified Professional – Network Virtualization (VCP-NV),

VMware Certified Professional – Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV), VMware Certified Professional –

Desktop (VCP-DT), or VMware Certified Professional – Cloud (VCP-Cloud) certification to attempt this

certification. There is no course requirement for this exam.

The VCIX-NV certification is a component of the VMware Certified Design Expert- Network Virtualization

(VCDX-NV) certification track.

1.9 Recertification

Earning a VCIX certification has the additional benefit of recertifying existing VCP certifications. Recertification

helps ensure that all VCP holders are current in their VMware training, and encourages certified professionals

to expand the depth and breadth of their knowledge by recertifying in a different track or at a higher level.

For more information on recertification, please visit vmware.com/go/recertification or contact

[email protected].

1.10 Retake Policy

Candidates must wait 10 days before retaking the exam.

1.11 Exam Security

VMware reserves the right to refuse certifying a candidate who violates exam security policies. This includes

copying and redistribution of exam material, using any type of study material during the exam itself,

attempting to photograph exam items and taking an exam using a false identity. Pearson VUE testing centers

will take your photo and capture your digital signature upon arrival to take the exam.

1.12 Exam Environment

The exam consists of a number of tasks that are performed using a virtual environment consisting of a

management cluster, multiple compute clusters, and related virtual machines. The lab environment is based

on vSphere 5.5 and NSX for vSphere 6.0.2.

The VCIX-NV Exam includes troubleshooting tasks. As a result, some components may not be correctly

configured, or may not have been configured at all, which is entirely intentional. In addition, some lab tasks

are dependent on the successful completion of previous tasks. Every task can be completed successfully, and

knowledge of how the task is completed is essential to determine what component or components must be

configured or re-configured.

2. Intended Audience

2.1 Intended Audience

This exam will test potential candidates on their skills and abilities in the installation, configuration,

administration, and troubleshooting of a VMware NSX environment. Candidate should be capable of installing

and configuring VMware NSX and related components as well as utilizing the NSX Manager to create, manage,

and deploy a virtual networking environment. Candidates should be knowledgeable about optimizing and

troubleshooting all components of the NSX environment. Successful candidates will most likely have previous

experience working with vSphere infrastructures, including configuration and management tasks, typically at

least one year. Finally, the candidate should possess an understanding of Windows desktop administration,

including Active Directory, group policy, DNS, and DHCP.
