2V0-41.24 Question 396
Select 3An organization is deploying an L2 VPN to extend Layer 2 connectivity between their on-premises data center and a remote site. The autonomous NSX Edge has already been deployed at the remote site. Which steps must be performed to configure the autonomous Edge as an L2 VPN client?
- A
Enable the L2 VPN Server service on the NSX Manager.
- B
Configure the remote autonomous Edge as an L2 VPN client with the server's IP address and shared secret.
- C
Ensure that the Tier-0 Gateway on the NSX Manager is configured for L2 VPN Client mode.
- D
Map the required VLAN or VXLAN segments on the autonomous Edge to the L2 VPN client configuration.
- E
Establish a connectivity profile on the autonomous Edge to match the L2 VPN Server's transport settings.
- F
Generate and apply a certificate for secure communication on the autonomous Edge.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D, E
Explanation
To configure a pre-deployed autonomous Edge as an L2 VPN client, you must set it up with the L2 VPN server's IP address and shared secret, map the required segments (VLAN or VXLAN), and ensure the connectivity profile matches the server's transport settings. These steps are critical to establishing a functional Layer 2 VPN connection and extending Layer 2 networks across sites. Other options, such as enabling the L2 VPN Server or configuring Tier-0 Gateway, are not relevant to the client-side setup.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The L2 VPN Server service must be enabled on the NSX Manager, but this is not a step for configuring the autonomous Edge as an L2 VPN client. This step is specific to the server-side configuration.
- B. Correct.
Correct. The autonomous Edge must be configured as an L2 VPN client and requires the server's IP address and shared secret to establish a connection.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The Tier-0 Gateway is not configured for L2 VPN Client mode. This option is irrelevant to configuring the autonomous Edge specifically as an L2 VPN client.
- D. Correct.
Correct. VLAN or VXLAN segments must be mapped to the L2 VPN client configuration to ensure the data is properly encapsulated and extended over the L2 VPN.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The connectivity profile on the autonomous Edge must match the transport settings of the L2 VPN Server to establish a successful tunnel.
- F. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While certificates can be used for advanced security, they are not a mandatory step for configuring an autonomous Edge as an L2 VPN client in this scenario.
