2V0-41.24 Question 298
Select 4You are tasked with deploying NSX Edge Nodes in a new NSX-T Data Center deployment. The organization requires high availability for north-south traffic and plans to use the NSX-T Edge Cluster for load balancing and routing. Which steps should you follow to successfully deploy and configure NSX Edge Nodes?
- A
Install NSX Edge Nodes as virtual machines or bare-metal appliances and add them to an NSX Edge Cluster.
- B
Assign a Tier-0 Gateway to the NSX Edge Cluster to enable north-south traffic routing.
- C
Deploy NSX Edge Nodes on the same ESXi host to minimize latency and simplify management.
- D
Configure the Edge Node interfaces with uplink profiles and IP pools for external connectivity.
- E
Enable high availability by deploying multiple NSX Edge Nodes in the Edge Cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
To successfully deploy NSX Edge Nodes, you must follow best practices for high availability, scalability, and proper network integration. This includes deploying Edge Nodes as virtual machines or bare-metal appliances, adding them to an Edge Cluster, assigning a Tier-0 Gateway for north-south traffic, configuring interfaces for external connectivity, and ensuring high availability by deploying multiple Edge Nodes. Deploying all Edge Nodes on a single ESXi host violates high availability principles and should be avoided.
- A. Correct.
Correct. NSX Edge Nodes can be deployed as virtual machines or bare-metal appliances and must be added to an NSX Edge Cluster for proper functionality.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Assigning a Tier-0 Gateway to the NSX Edge Cluster is required for enabling north-south traffic routing.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Deploying NSX Edge Nodes on the same ESXi host is not recommended as it creates a single point of failure and does not adhere to best practices for high availability.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Configuring Edge Node interfaces with uplink profiles and IP pools is required for external connectivity and proper integration with the physical network.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Deploying multiple NSX Edge Nodes in the Edge Cluster ensures high availability and redundancy for north-south traffic.
