2V0-41.24 Question 148
Select 2A network administrator is configuring multiple tenant environments on a VMware NSX-T Data Center deployment and wants to use VRF Lite to ensure that each tenant's traffic is isolated while sharing the same physical network infrastructure. Which of the following steps are required to successfully implement VRF Lite in this scenario?
- A
Create multiple VRF instances for each tenant on the NSX-T Tier-0 Gateway.
- B
Enable route leaking between VRF instances to share routes among tenants.
- C
Configure a unique RD (Route Distinguisher) and RT (Route Target) for each VRF instance.
- D
Deploy a dedicated Edge Node for each VRF instance to isolate tenant traffic.
- E
Ensure VLAN-backed segments are used for each VRF instance to map tenant traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To implement VRF Lite in VMware NSX-T, you must create multiple VRF instances on the Tier-0 Gateway to ensure routing table isolation for each tenant. Additionally, each VRF instance requires a unique Route Distinguisher (RD) and Route Target (RT) to manage and differentiate the tenant routes. Other options, such as route leaking or deploying a dedicated Edge Node, are either unnecessary for typical VRF Lite configurations or dependent on specific use cases.
- A. Correct.
Correct. VRF Lite requires the creation of separate VRF instances on the NSX-T Tier-0 Gateway to isolate tenant routing tables.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Route leaking is not typically enabled in VRF Lite for tenant isolation but may be used in specific advanced scenarios requiring route sharing.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Each VRF instance must have a unique Route Distinguisher (RD) and Route Target (RT) to differentiate and manage routes.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. VRF Lite does not require a dedicated Edge Node per VRF instance; multiple VRFs can be implemented on the same Edge Node.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While VLAN-backed segments can be used, they are not a specific requirement for VRF Lite, as other segment types (e.g., overlay) can also be used.
