2V0-41.24 Question 299
Select 3You are tasked with deploying NSX Edge Nodes in an environment where high availability is critical for north-south traffic. Your design requires the Edge Nodes to be deployed in a cluster and must ensure redundancy for future scalability. Which of the following steps should you take to successfully deploy the NSX Edge Nodes in this scenario?
- A
Deploy at least two NSX Edge Nodes on dedicated ESXi hosts.
- B
Configure NSX-T Manager to link the Edge Nodes in an Edge Cluster.
- C
Deploy the NSX Edge Nodes as virtual appliances using a small form factor to save resources.
- D
Ensure the Edge Nodes are configured with at least two uplink interfaces for redundancy.
- E
Assign the Edge Nodes to an existing Tier-0 Gateway to enable north-south traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To deploy NSX Edge Nodes for a high-availability environment, you must ensure redundancy at both the physical and network levels. Deploying at least two Edge Nodes on dedicated ESXi hosts and linking them into an Edge Cluster provides fault tolerance and scalability. Configuring multiple uplink interfaces adds network redundancy, which is essential for maintaining consistent north-south traffic flow in critical environments. Deploying Edge Nodes as small form factor appliances or prematurely assigning them to a Tier-0 Gateway does not align with the best practices for deployment in a high-availability design.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Deploying at least two NSX Edge Nodes on dedicated ESXi hosts ensures redundancy and supports high availability, which is critical in this scenario.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Configuring the Edge Nodes in an Edge Cluster via NSX-T Manager is necessary to group them for load balancing and redundancy.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Deploying Edge Nodes in a small form factor may not meet the performance and scalability requirements for a high-availability environment.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Configuring at least two uplink interfaces for each Edge Node ensures redundancy at the network level, which is essential for high availability.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Assigning Edge Nodes to a Tier-0 Gateway is a later step in the configuration process and is not directly related to the deployment of the Edge Nodes themselves.
