2V0-41.24 Question 102
Select 2An organization has deployed NSX-T Data Center and is configuring gateway interfaces on their Tier-1 Gateway to provide connectivity for workloads in a specific VLAN segment. They also want to use NSX Edge nodes to provide north-south connectivity for external communication. Which type of gateway interface should they use for the VLAN segment and for connecting to the physical network?
- A
VLAN interface for the VLAN segment and External interface for the physical network
- B
Loopback interface for the VLAN segment and External interface for the physical network
- C
VLAN interface for the VLAN segment and Downlink interface for the physical network
- D
Downlink interface for the VLAN segment and Uplink interface for the physical network
- E
VLAN interface for the VLAN segment and Uplink interface for the physical network
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, E
Explanation
To configure connectivity for VLAN segments, a VLAN interface must be used on the Tier-1 Gateway. For north-south connectivity to the physical network, the gateway must use an Uplink interface or an External interface, depending on the specific design and routing requirements. This configuration ensures proper communication between workloads, the physical network, and external networks through NSX Edge nodes.
- A. Correct.
Correct. VLAN interfaces are used to provide connectivity for workloads in specific VLAN segments, and External interfaces (on the Tier-0 Gateway) provide north-south connectivity via NSX Edge nodes.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Loopback interfaces are not used for VLAN segments or connecting to physical networks; they are used for specific routing configurations and diagnostics.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Downlink interfaces are not used for connecting to physical networks; they are typically used to connect logical segments to gateways.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Downlink interfaces are used for logical segments, but Uplink interfaces are the correct choice for connecting to physical networks, not Downlink interfaces.
- E. Correct.
Correct. VLAN interfaces are used to connect VLAN segments to the gateway, and Uplink interfaces are used to connect the gateway to the physical network via NSX Edge nodes.
