Select 3You are tasked with deploying a new NSX Edge Node to support a site-to-site VPN deployment between your organization's data center and a remote branch office. During the deployment process, which of the following steps must you complete to ensure the Edge Node is correctly configured for VPN functionality?
- A
Assign a management IP address to the NSX Edge Node during deployment.
- B
Configure high availability (HA) for the Edge Node before enabling VPN services.
- C
Add the NSX Edge Node to an Edge Cluster after deployment.
- D
Enable route advertisement on the Tier-1 Gateway connected to the NSX Edge Node.
- E
Deploy the NSX Edge Node as a bare-metal appliance to support VPN functionality.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To deploy a new NSX Edge Node for VPN functionality, you must assign a management IP address, add the Edge Node to an Edge Cluster, and ensure route advertisement is enabled on the Tier-1 Gateway. These steps ensure the Edge Node is properly integrated into the NSX-T environment and can support VPN services. High availability and bare-metal deployment are optional configurations and not mandatory for VPN deployment.
- A. Correct.
Assigning a management IP address is a fundamental step during NSX Edge Node deployment. This allows the Edge Node to communicate with the NSX Manager and other components.
- B. Incorrect.
While configuring HA is a best practice for redundancy, it is not a mandatory step for deploying an NSX Edge Node to support VPN functionality.
- C. Correct.
The NSX Edge Node must be added to an Edge Cluster to enable services such as VPN. Without this, the Edge Node cannot participate in service deployments.
- D. Correct.
Route advertisement on the Tier-1 Gateway is necessary to ensure VPN traffic is correctly routed between the data center and the remote branch office.
- E. Incorrect.
An NSX Edge Node can be deployed as a virtual machine or bare-metal appliance, but deploying it as a bare-metal appliance is not a mandatory requirement for VPN functionality.
