Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When troubleshooting traffic forwarding issues in NSX-T Data Center, the nsx-controller.log provides critical information about the control plane operations, including routing and forwarding state. This makes it the most appropriate log file to identify problems with the Tier-1 Gateway's traffic handling.
- A. Incorrect.
The nsx-api.log is primarily used to troubleshoot API-related issues, such as REST API calls failing. It is not directly related to traffic forwarding issues.
- B. Incorrect.
The nsx-ncp.log is used to troubleshoot the NSX Container Plugin, which integrates NSX with Kubernetes. It is not relevant to Tier-1 Gateway traffic forwarding.
- C. Correct.
The nsx-controller.log contains details about the control plane operations, including routing and forwarding state. This log is most relevant when investigating Tier-1 Gateway forwarding issues.
- D. Incorrect.
The nsx-proxy.log is used to troubleshoot issues related to the NSX Proxy Service, which handles communication between NSX Manager and other components. It is not directly related to traffic forwarding.
