2V0-41.24 Question 204
Select 2A company is deploying an NSX-T L2 VPN to extend a VLAN from their on-premises data center to a public cloud environment. Which endpoints are supported for establishing the L2 VPN connection?
- A
NSX Edge appliance
- B
Standalone NSX L2 VPN client
- C
vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS)
- D
Physical router with VXLAN support
- E
Cloud Gateway using NSX Cloud
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
L2 VPN in NSX-T supports specific endpoints, such as the NSX Edge appliance and the standalone NSX L2 VPN client. These endpoints facilitate the extension of Layer 2 networks across geographically separated sites. Other options, like VDS, physical routers, or NSX Cloud Gateways, are not designed to serve as L2 VPN endpoints in NSX-T.
- A. Correct.
The NSX Edge appliance is a supported endpoint for L2 VPN connections as it can act as a server or client in the VPN configuration.
- B. Correct.
The standalone NSX L2 VPN client is a lightweight client that can connect to the NSX Edge appliance for L2 VPN purposes.
- C. Incorrect.
The vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) is a virtual networking construct but is not directly supported as an L2 VPN endpoint.
- D. Incorrect.
A physical router with VXLAN support is not a supported endpoint for NSX L2 VPN connections, as NSX does not rely on VXLAN for L2 VPN functionality.
- E. Incorrect.
The Cloud Gateway using NSX Cloud is not specifically designed to act as an L2 VPN endpoint in this scenario.
