2V0-41.24 Question 384
Select 3You are tasked with configuring a new Edge Cluster in an NSX-T Data Center deployment. The Edge Cluster will support North-South traffic for a Tier-1 Gateway. Which of the following steps must you perform to correctly configure the Edge Cluster?
- A
Add at least two NSX Edge nodes to the Edge Cluster.
- B
Assign a Transport Zone to the Edge Cluster.
- C
Configure an Edge Cluster profile for the Edge Cluster.
- D
Add the Edge Cluster to a Transport Node Profile.
- E
Configure the failover mode for the Edge Cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
To configure a new Edge Cluster in NSX-T, you must include at least two Edge Nodes to ensure high availability, assign a Transport Zone for proper connectivity, and configure the failover mode to define traffic handling during failures. Steps like creating an Edge Cluster profile or associating it with a Transport Node Profile are not mandatory for Edge Cluster configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct. An Edge Cluster requires at least two NSX Edge nodes to provide redundancy and handle North-South traffic effectively.
- B. Correct.
Correct. A Transport Zone must be assigned to the Edge Cluster to ensure connectivity between Logical Switches and the Edge Nodes.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Edge Cluster profiles are used for specific configurations, they are not required to configure a new Edge Cluster specifically.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Transport Node Profiles are used to automate the configuration of transport nodes, not Edge Clusters.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Configuring the failover mode (e.g., Active-Standby or ECMP) is essential for determining how traffic is handled during failure scenarios.
