2V0-41.24 Question 294
Select 3An organization is deploying NSX-T Data Center and needs to configure NSX Edge Nodes for their environment. The Edge Nodes will be used for north-south traffic routing and load balancing. During the deployment, the administrator must ensure that the Edge Nodes are properly connected to the transport zones. Which of the following steps are required to deploy and configure the NSX Edge Nodes correctly?
- A
Assign the Edge Nodes to an Overlay Transport Zone and an Edge Cluster.
- B
Configure a TEP (Tunnel Endpoint) IP address for the Edge Node interfaces.
- C
Ensure that the Edge Nodes are deployed on a dedicated ESXi cluster with no other workloads running.
- D
Attach the Edge Nodes to the VLAN Transport Zone used for uplink traffic.
- E
Manually configure BGP on the Edge Nodes before adding them to the Edge Cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To successfully deploy and configure NSX Edge Nodes, several key steps must be completed. These include assigning the Edge Nodes to appropriate transport zones (Overlay for overlay traffic and VLAN for uplinks), configuring TEP IP addresses for overlay communication, and ensuring proper connectivity for north-south routing. While BGP configuration and deploying on a dedicated cluster may be part of best practices or later configurations, they are not strictly required during the initial deployment process.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Edge Nodes must be assigned to an Overlay Transport Zone to handle overlay traffic and to an Edge Cluster for proper functionality within the NSX-T environment.
- B. Correct.
Correct. A Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) IP address is required for Edge Node interfaces to participate in the NSX-T overlay network.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While deploying Edge Nodes on a dedicated cluster can be a best practice, it is not a mandatory requirement for deployment.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Edge Nodes must be connected to the VLAN Transport Zone to handle north-south traffic uplinks.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. BGP configuration can be done after the Edge Nodes are added to the Edge Cluster; it is not required during the initial deployment.
