2V0-41.24 Question 385
Select 3An administrator is tasked with configuring a new Edge Cluster in an NSX-T environment to support North-South traffic. The administrator needs to ensure the cluster is highly available and that workloads are distributed across multiple Edge nodes. Which steps should the administrator include in the configuration process?
- A
Assign at least two Edge nodes to the Edge Cluster.
- B
Configure an Active-Standby Edge node configuration within the Edge Cluster.
- C
Assign the Edge Cluster to a Tier-0 Gateway.
- D
Enable Equal-Cost Multi-Pathing (ECMP) on the Tier-0 Gateway.
- E
Configure the Edge Cluster as the primary compute cluster for workloads.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To configure a new Edge Cluster for North-South traffic, the administrator must ensure that the cluster is highly available and set up for efficient traffic handling. Assigning multiple Edge nodes provides redundancy, assigning the cluster to a Tier-0 Gateway enables traffic routing, and enabling ECMP ensures traffic is distributed across nodes for scalability. Configurations like Active-Standby or using the Edge Cluster as a compute cluster are either optional or incorrect for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct: To ensure high availability, at least two Edge nodes need to be assigned to an Edge Cluster. This configuration allows for redundancy and failover.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Active-Standby is a valid configuration for specific use cases, but it is not required when ECMP is enabled. The question emphasizes workload distribution, which favors ECMP over Active-Standby.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Assigning the Edge Cluster to a Tier-0 Gateway is necessary for handling North-South traffic, as the Tier-0 Gateway routes traffic between the NSX-T environment and external networks.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Enabling ECMP on the Tier-0 Gateway ensures traffic is distributed across multiple Edge nodes, providing scalability and redundancy.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Edge Clusters are not used as compute clusters for workloads. They are specifically designed to handle networking services such as routing, load balancing, and VPN.
