2V0-41.24 Question 135
Single answerAn organization has deployed NSX-T Data Center for its network virtualization needs. They want to configure high availability for their Tier-0 Gateway to ensure uninterrupted routing services. The requirements include utilizing all available uplinks to maximize throughput while maintaining failover capabilities. Which high availability mode should the organization choose, and why?
- A
Active-Active mode, as it utilizes all available uplinks and provides load balancing.
- B
Active-Standby mode, as it provides throughput optimization by using a single active uplink.
- C
Active-Active mode, as it ensures minimal downtime by creating multiple control plane instances.
- D
Active-Standby mode, as it ensures no packet loss by forwarding traffic exclusively on the standby uplink.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The organization requires high availability with maximum throughput and redundancy. Active-Active mode is the ideal choice as it uses all available uplinks simultaneously, providing both load balancing and failover capabilities. Active-Standby, while suitable for simpler failover scenarios, does not meet the organization's performance requirements as it only uses a single active uplink at a time.
- A. Correct.
Active-Active mode is the correct choice because it utilizes all available uplinks for throughput and provides load balancing across them. This mode is suitable for environments that require high performance and redundancy.
- B. Incorrect.
Active-Standby mode does not optimize throughput as it only uses one active uplink at a time, making it less suitable for scenarios where maximum throughput is required.
- C. Incorrect.
Active-Active mode does not create multiple control plane instances. This explanation is incorrect because high availability modes primarily impact data plane behavior, not just the control plane.
- D. Incorrect.
Active-Standby mode does not forward traffic exclusively on the standby uplink. The standby uplink is only used during failover, and this explanation misrepresents the behavior of Active-Standby mode.
