Explanation
L2 VPN in NSX-T Data Center is used to extend Layer 2 networks across geographical locations. Supported endpoints include the NSX Edge Gateway as the L2 VPN Server, a Standalone NSX Layer 2 VPN Client, and VMware Cloud on AWS as a client. These configurations enable seamless Layer 2 extension, while other options, like third-party VPN clients or the NSX Distributed Router, are not supported in this role.
- A. Correct.
NSX Edge Gateway can act as an L2 VPN Server, providing support for extending Layer 2 networks between sites.
- B. Correct.
Standalone NSX Layer 2 VPN Client is a supported endpoint for connecting remote sites to the NSX-T L2 VPN server.
- C. Incorrect.
Third-party Layer 2 VPN Clients are not natively supported unless specifically certified or compatible with NSX-T extensions.
- D. Incorrect.
NSX Distributed Router (DR) cannot act as an L2 VPN endpoint. It functions as a routing component within NSX-T, not as a VPN endpoint.
- E. Correct.
VMware Cloud on AWS can act as an L2 VPN Client, allowing for connectivity between an on-premises data center and VMware Cloud.
