2V0-41.24 Question 321
Select 3You are tasked with creating a Tier-0 gateway in your NSX-T Data Center environment. The gateway must support north-south traffic for external connectivity and enable high availability (HA). During the configuration, what critical steps must you perform to ensure proper functionality of the Tier-0 gateway?
- A
Assign an Edge Cluster to the Tier-0 gateway.
- B
Enable the 'Route Redistribution' feature for the Tier-0 gateway.
- C
Configure BGP or static routing for external connectivity.
- D
Attach the Tier-1 gateway before configuring the Tier-0 gateway.
- E
Configure an HA VIP (Virtual IP) for the Tier-0 gateway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To create a functional Tier-0 gateway, you must assign an Edge Cluster, as this is required for handling external connectivity. Additionally, configuring BGP or static routing is essential for enabling north-south traffic. Enabling HA through a virtual IP (VIP) is crucial for ensuring gateway availability in case of a failure. While route redistribution and Tier-1 attachment are important for specific scenarios, they are not mandatory steps for the basic creation of a Tier-0 gateway.
- A. Correct.
Assigning an Edge Cluster to the Tier-0 gateway is mandatory for north-south traffic handling and external connectivity. Without an Edge Cluster, the Tier-0 gateway cannot perform its function.
- B. Incorrect.
While 'Route Redistribution' is important for route learning and dissemination, it is not a critical step for creating the Tier-0 gateway itself.
- C. Correct.
Configuring BGP or static routing is essential to establish external connectivity from the Tier-0 gateway to physical routers or the wider network.
- D. Incorrect.
Attaching a Tier-1 gateway is not a prerequisite for creating a Tier-0 gateway. Tier-0 gateways can function independently for north-south traffic.
- E. Correct.
Configuring an HA VIP ensures that the Tier-0 gateway operates in a highly available mode, which is crucial for production environments requiring fault tolerance.
