2V0-41.24 Question 301
Select 3You are tasked with configuring an NSX-T Edge Cluster in your organization's environment to support north-south traffic and load balancing functionality. During the configuration, you need to ensure high availability and proper routing. Which of the following steps must you perform to correctly configure the Edge Cluster?
- A
Assign at least two Edge Transport Nodes to the Edge Cluster.
- B
Configure Tier-0 Gateways to use the Edge Cluster for uplink connectivity.
- C
Enable BGP on all Edge Transport Nodes before adding them to the Edge Cluster.
- D
Configure the Edge Cluster with an N-VDS or VDS to enable traffic forwarding.
- E
Assign a unique VLAN for Edge overlay traffic within the Edge Cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To configure an Edge Cluster, you must assign at least two Edge Transport Nodes for high availability, configure Tier-0 Gateways to use the Edge Cluster for uplink connectivity, and ensure the Edge Cluster has an N-VDS or VDS for traffic forwarding. BGP and VLAN configurations are separate steps that do not directly relate to Edge Cluster configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct. To provide high availability and load balancing, an Edge Cluster must have at least two Edge Transport Nodes assigned to it.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Tier-0 Gateways rely on Edge Clusters for uplink connectivity and routing to external networks, so this configuration is essential.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Enabling BGP is a configuration step performed at the Tier-0 Gateway level, not at the Edge Transport Node level, and is not required for Edge Cluster setup.
- D. Correct.
Correct. An Edge Cluster must have an N-VDS or VDS configured to handle traffic forwarding between transport zones and external networks.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While VLANs are required for overlay traffic, they are configured on transport zones and Edge Transport Nodes, not directly on the Edge Cluster.
