2V0-41.24 Question 383
Single answerYou are tasked with deploying a new NSX Edge Node to support a VPN deployment in your environment. During the deployment process, which step is crucial to ensure the NSX Edge Node can establish VPN tunnels and route traffic correctly?
- A
Assign an IP address from the TEP (Tunnel Endpoint) pool to the NSX Edge Node.
- B
Configure the NSX Edge Node with a management IP and ensure it has connectivity to the NSX Manager.
- C
Enable DHCP on the NSX Edge Node to dynamically assign IP addresses for VPN tunnels.
- D
Attach the NSX Edge Node to the desired Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To deploy an NSX Edge Node for VPN functionality, a management IP must be configured to establish communication with the NSX Manager. This step ensures the NSX Edge Node is operational and can be managed. While other steps like attaching to a Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway and configuring TEP IPs are important for specific functionalities, they are not the primary requirement for VPN support during the deployment process.
- A. Incorrect.
Assigning an IP address from the TEP pool is necessary for data plane communication in overlay networks, but it is not directly related to establishing VPN connectivity.
- B. Correct.
Configuring the NSX Edge Node with a management IP and ensuring it has connectivity to the NSX Manager is critical for the deployment and management of the Edge Node. Without this, the Edge Node cannot participate in VPN operations.
- C. Incorrect.
Enabling DHCP on the NSX Edge Node is not a supported method for configuring IP addresses for VPN tunnels. Static IP configuration or manual setup is typically required.
- D. Incorrect.
Attaching the NSX Edge Node to a Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway is necessary for routing traffic, but it is not the primary step in ensuring VPN connectivity.
