2V0-41.24 Question 296
Select 2An administrator is deploying NSX Edge Nodes to support north-south traffic in a multi-tier application. They have completed the initial deployment of an NSX Edge Node and need to configure it for optimal performance. Which configuration must the administrator apply to ensure the Edge Node is correctly integrated into the NSX-T environment and supports its intended role?
- A
Configure the Edge Node's uplink interfaces and assign them to the appropriate Transport Zone.
- B
Assign a Static Route to the Edge Node for east-west traffic handling.
- C
Ensure the Edge Node is part of an Edge Cluster.
- D
Enable High Availability (HA) on the NSX Edge Node by deploying an Active-Active cluster.
- E
Configure the Edge Node with an NSX-T Overlay Transport Zone.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To deploy and configure NSX Edge Nodes effectively for north-south traffic, the administrator must ensure the uplink interfaces are assigned to the correct Transport Zones to connect to the physical network. Additionally, Edge Nodes must be added to an Edge Cluster to enable redundancy and scalability. These are critical steps for integrating the Edge Node into the NSX-T environment and ensuring it can fulfill its role in the network architecture.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Uplink interfaces must be configured and assigned to the appropriate Transport Zone to handle north-south traffic effectively.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Static routes are not typically required for east-west traffic, as that is handled by the NSX overlay. Static routes are used for specific north-south routing scenarios.
- C. Correct.
Correct. NSX Edge Nodes must be part of an Edge Cluster for proper redundancy, scalability, and services deployment.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While High Availability is recommended, deploying an Active-Active cluster is not necessary in all cases. The decision depends on the network design and requirements.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. An NSX Overlay Transport Zone is not directly configured on the Edge Node itself. Instead, this is a configuration for logical switches and transport zones.
