- A
Enable the L2 VPN service under the VPN settings on the autonomous Edge.
- B
Configure the server-side L2 VPN settings on the remote NSX Manager.
- C
Configure the client-side L2 VPN session and map the required logical switches or VLANs on the autonomous Edge.
- D
Generate and use a shared secret key to establish the VPN tunnel between the client and server.
- E
Assign an IP address to the autonomous Edge's management interface for connectivity to NSX Manager.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To configure a pre-deployed autonomous NSX Edge as an L2 VPN client, you must enable the L2 VPN service on the Edge, configure the client-side L2 VPN session, and map the appropriate logical switches or VLANs. Additionally, a shared secret key is required to authenticate and establish the VPN tunnel. The server-side configuration is handled on the NSX Manager, and while the management interface's connectivity to NSX Manager is important, it is not part of the specific steps for configuring the L2 VPN client.
- A. Correct.
Correct: The L2 VPN service must be enabled on the autonomous Edge to function as an L2 VPN client and establish the required connectivity.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The server-side L2 VPN settings are configured on the NSX Manager for the server, not on the autonomous Edge acting as a client.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The client-side L2 VPN session must be configured on the autonomous Edge, and logical switches or VLANs need to be mapped for Layer 2 extension.
- D. Correct.
Correct: A shared secret key is required for authentication and to establish a secure VPN tunnel between the client and server.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While the management interface requires connectivity to NSX Manager for operational purposes, this is not directly related to configuring the L2 VPN client on the autonomous Edge.
