2V0-41.24 Question 114
Select 2An organization is planning to deploy NSX Edge nodes in their environment to support North-South traffic and load balancing. They need to ensure high availability while minimizing the consumption of physical resources. Which NSX Edge node deployment methods can be used in this scenario?
- A
Deploy NSX Edge nodes as a standalone appliance.
- B
Deploy NSX Edge nodes in an active-active cluster.
- C
Deploy NSX Edge nodes in an active-standby cluster.
- D
Deploy NSX Edge nodes on bare-metal servers.
- E
Deploy NSX Edge nodes using a nested ESXi hypervisor.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C
Explanation
To support North-South traffic and load balancing with high availability, NSX Edge nodes can be deployed in either active-active or active-standby clusters. Active-active clusters provide redundancy and enhanced performance through load balancing, while active-standby clusters ensure failover mechanisms are in place. Other deployment methods, such as standalone appliances or nested hypervisors, do not meet the requirements of this scenario.
- A. Incorrect.
Deploying NSX Edge nodes as a standalone appliance does not provide high availability, as it involves a single node and there is no failover mechanism.
- B. Correct.
Deploying NSX Edge nodes in an active-active cluster ensures high availability and load balancing, making it suitable for scenarios requiring redundancy and performance optimization.
- C. Correct.
Deploying NSX Edge nodes in an active-standby cluster ensures high availability by providing a failover mechanism, but it does not support load balancing for North-South traffic.
- D. Incorrect.
Deploying NSX Edge nodes on bare-metal servers can provide better performance, but it is not specific to achieving high availability or minimizing physical resource consumption.
- E. Incorrect.
Deploying NSX Edge nodes using a nested ESXi hypervisor is primarily used in test environments and is not recommended for production deployments requiring high availability.
