2V0-41.24 Question 201
Single answerAn organization is planning to extend its Layer 2 network across two geographically separated sites using VMware NSX. The organization wants to ensure seamless workload mobility and maintain the same subnet across both locations. Which feature of NSX should the organization implement?
- A
NSX Edge L2 VPN
- B
NSX Distributed Firewall
- C
NSX Federation
- D
NSX Load Balancer
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
NSX Edge L2 VPN is the correct choice because it is designed to extend Layer 2 networks across geographically separated locations. This feature is essential for scenarios where the same IP subnet needs to span multiple sites, such as during workload migrations or disaster recovery implementations. Other options like Distributed Firewall, Federation, or Load Balancer are unrelated to Layer 2 network extensions.
- A. Correct.
NSX Edge L2 VPN allows the extension of Layer 2 networks across different physical locations, enabling seamless workload mobility and maintaining the same subnet across sites.
- B. Incorrect.
NSX Distributed Firewall provides micro-segmentation and security at the VM level but does not support Layer 2 network extension.
- C. Incorrect.
NSX Federation is used for managing multiple NSX environments across different locations but does not provide Layer 2 VPN functionality.
- D. Incorrect.
NSX Load Balancer is used for distributing traffic across multiple servers or applications but is not related to Layer 2 network extension.
