2V0-41.24 Question 318
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with creating an uplink segment in an NSX-T Data Center environment to connect the NSX-T Tier-0 Gateway to the physical network. The physical network uses VLAN 101 for external connectivity, and the uplink needs to be assigned to a specific transport zone. During the configuration, which step is crucial to ensure successful connectivity?
- A
Assign the uplink segment to an overlay transport zone.
- B
Specify the VLAN ID as 101 for the uplink segment.
- C
Configure a unique IP address for the uplink segment from the transport subnet.
- D
Enable BGP configuration on the uplink segment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When creating an uplink segment in NSX-T, it is critical to specify the correct VLAN ID that matches the configuration of the physical network. This ensures the uplink segment can establish connectivity with the external physical network. Overlay transport zones and routing protocol configurations, such as BGP, are unrelated to uplink segment creation.
- A. Incorrect.
Overlay transport zones are used for logical overlay traffic and are not appropriate for uplink segments, which require VLAN-backed transport zones.
- B. Correct.
Specifying the correct VLAN ID (101 in this case) is essential to ensure the uplink segment can communicate with the physical network configured on the same VLAN.
- C. Incorrect.
While IP addressing is important for routing configuration, the uplink segment itself does not require a unique IP address during creation. IP configuration is handled at the gateway level.
- D. Incorrect.
BGP configuration is part of the routing setup on the Tier-0 Gateway, not a requirement for creating the uplink segment.
