2V0-41.24 Question 352
Select 3An administrator is tasked with deploying and configuring VRF gateways in an NSX-T Data Center environment to isolate tenant networks. During the deployment process, the administrator needs to ensure proper routing between VRF instances and external networks. Which of the following configurations are required to successfully deploy VRF gateways and enable routing?
- A
Assign a unique route distinguisher (RD) for each VRF gateway.
- B
Configure a Tier-0 gateway and attach VRF gateways as child entities.
- C
Enable BGP on the VRF gateway to exchange routing information with external networks.
- D
Configure static routes on the VRF gateway instead of using a dynamic routing protocol.
- E
Attach Tier-1 gateways directly to VRF gateways to isolate tenant networks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To successfully deploy and configure VRF gateways, certain key steps are required: assigning a unique route distinguisher (RD) to ensure proper routing, attaching the VRF gateways under a Tier-0 gateway for hierarchical routing, and enabling BGP for dynamic routing with external networks. Static routes are an optional configuration but are not a requirement. Additionally, Tier-1 gateways cannot connect directly to VRF gateways, as VRFs are part of the Tier-0 hierarchy.
- A. Correct.
Each VRF gateway must have a unique route distinguisher (RD) to differentiate it from other VRFs for routing purposes.
- B. Correct.
VRF gateways must be attached as child entities under a Tier-0 gateway to allow routing between VRFs and external networks.
- C. Correct.
Enabling BGP on the VRF gateway ensures proper exchange of routing information with external networks, which is critical for connectivity.
- D. Incorrect.
Static routes can be used, but they are not mandatory. Dynamic routing protocols like BGP are preferred for scalability and automation.
- E. Incorrect.
Tier-1 gateways cannot be directly attached to VRF gateways. Instead, they connect to Tier-0 gateways, which can have VRF instances.
