2V0-41.24 Question 203
Single answerAn organization has extended its on-premises data center to a public cloud using NSX L2 VPN. They want to ensure seamless communication between workloads in the on-premises and cloud environments without modifying their IP addressing scheme. Which key component is required in the NSX L2 VPN setup to achieve this functionality?
- A
L2 VPN Edge Service Gateway
- B
NSX Distributed Firewall
- C
Logical Switch
- D
Tier-0 Gateway
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The L2 VPN Edge Service Gateway is essential for NSX L2 VPN functionality. It extends Layer 2 networks across different environments, maintaining the same IP addressing scheme, which is crucial for seamless workload communication when extending on-premises networks to the public cloud. Other components like the NSX Distributed Firewall, Logical Switch, and Tier-0 Gateway serve different purposes and do not specifically enable L2 VPN.
- A. Correct.
The L2 VPN Edge Service Gateway is a critical component that enables Layer 2 VPN functionality, allowing the extension of Layer 2 networks across environments and preserving the existing IP addressing scheme.
- B. Incorrect.
The NSX Distributed Firewall is used for micro-segmentation and security but is not directly involved in enabling L2 VPN functionality.
- C. Incorrect.
Logical Switches are used to segment Layer 2 networks within NSX but do not facilitate the Layer 2 VPN connection between on-premises and cloud environments.
- D. Incorrect.
The Tier-0 Gateway handles north-south traffic routing and is not directly required for establishing L2 VPN connectivity.
