2V0-41.24 Question 346
Select 3An organization is using NSX-T Data Center to segment its network into multiple VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances) for different business units. They want to configure VRF Lite to enable inter-VRF communication for shared services between these business units. Which of the following steps are required to configure VRF Lite in NSX-T?
- A
Create a Tier-0 Gateway and configure it to support multiple VRFs.
- B
Define static routes or BGP routing policies for inter-VRF communication.
- C
Enable route leaking between VRFs by configuring route redistribution rules.
- D
Configure a Tier-1 Gateway for each VRF and assign a unique segment to each.
- E
Deploy additional Edge Nodes to support VRF Lite functionality.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To configure VRF Lite in NSX-T, you must first create a Tier-0 Gateway configured to support multiple VRFs. Inter-VRF communication requires defining routes (static or dynamic via BGP) and enabling route leaking through route redistribution rules. These steps ensure the isolated routing tables of each VRF can share specific routes as needed. Additional Edge Nodes or Tier-1 Gateways are not inherently required for VRF Lite configuration.
- A. Correct.
Creating a Tier-0 Gateway with support for multiple VRFs is a prerequisite for VRF Lite, as it allows segmentation of routing tables for each VRF.
- B. Correct.
Defining static routes or BGP routing policies is necessary to establish communication between VRFs, as they operate with isolated routing tables by default.
- C. Correct.
Route leaking is a key feature of VRF Lite and is achieved by configuring route redistribution rules to allow specific routes to be shared between VRFs.
- D. Incorrect.
While Tier-1 Gateways and unique segments are often used for segmentation, they are not directly required for configuring VRF Lite itself.
- E. Incorrect.
Deploying additional Edge Nodes is not necessary for VRF Lite functionality, as existing Edge Nodes can handle VRF configurations if properly set up.
