2V0-41.24 Question 302
Select 3An administrator is tasked with configuring an Edge Cluster in an NSX-T Data Center environment to support North-South traffic for a tier-0 gateway. The Edge Cluster must provide redundancy and load balancing. During the configuration, the administrator observes that the Edge Cluster is not functioning as expected. Which of the following steps should the administrator take to ensure proper Edge Cluster configuration?
- A
Ensure that the Edge Nodes in the cluster are part of the same transport zone.
- B
Verify that high availability (HA) is enabled for the Edge Cluster.
- C
Assign the same uplink profile to all Edge Nodes in the Edge Cluster.
- D
Configure the Edge Cluster with at least two Edge Nodes.
- E
Check that the VLANs for the uplinks are properly configured on the physical switches.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D, E
Explanation
To properly configure an Edge Cluster, it is essential to ensure that the Edge Nodes are part of the same transport zone (for internal communication), that there are at least two Edge Nodes (for redundancy and load balancing), and that the physical switch VLANs are correctly configured for external connectivity. These steps address the core requirements for an operational Edge Cluster. While features like HA and uplink profile consistency may enhance performance, they are not mandatory for basic functionality.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring that the Edge Nodes are part of the same transport zone is critical for proper communication and traffic flow within the Edge Cluster. Without this, the Edge Cluster cannot function correctly.
- B. Incorrect.
While high availability (HA) is an important feature, it is not mandatory for the basic functioning of an Edge Cluster. HA enhances redundancy but does not directly affect the configuration of the Edge Cluster.
- C. Incorrect.
Assigning the same uplink profile to all Edge Nodes is not a requirement. Each Edge Node can have its own uplink profile depending on its intended configuration and connectivity.
- D. Correct.
Configuring the Edge Cluster with at least two Edge Nodes ensures redundancy and load balancing, which are critical for North-South traffic management.
- E. Correct.
Proper VLAN configuration on the physical switches ensures that the Edge Nodes can communicate with the external networks. Misconfigured VLANs can prevent the Edge Cluster from functioning as expected.
