2V0-41.24 Question 45
Single answerAn organization is deploying NSX-T Data Center and needs to configure both overlay and VLAN-backed segments. The administrator creates a transport zone for overlay traffic and another for VLAN traffic. They need to prepare the transport nodes and ensure proper connectivity. What is the correct relationship between transport zones, transport nodes, VDS, and N-VDS in this scenario?
- A
Each transport node can be associated with multiple transport zones, and the choice of VDS or N-VDS depends on the NSX-T version and requirements.
- B
A transport zone can span only one transport node, and each transport node can only use one type of switch, either VDS or N-VDS.
- C
Transport zones define logical boundaries, and transport nodes must have VDS configured for overlay and N-VDS for VLAN traffic.
- D
Transport zones are associated with transport nodes through uplinks, and only N-VDS can be used for NSX-T configurations.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Transport nodes are the entities that connect to transport zones, which define the logical boundaries for overlay and VLAN-backed traffic. Each transport node can connect to multiple transport zones, allowing it to handle different types of traffic. The type of switch (VDS or N-VDS) depends on the NSX-T version and deployment requirements. Starting with NSX-T 3.x, VDS is supported alongside N-VDS, providing flexibility in configurations.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Each transport node can be associated with multiple transport zones (e.g., overlay and VLAN transport zones), and the choice between VDS or N-VDS depends on the NSX-T version and the specific deployment requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: A transport zone can span multiple transport nodes, and transport nodes are not restricted to only one type of switch. They may support both VDS and N-VDS in certain scenarios.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Transport zones define logical boundaries for traffic, but transport nodes do not require VDS for overlay traffic and N-VDS for VLAN. The choice of switch depends on the deployment scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Transport zones are not associated with transport nodes through uplinks specifically, and N-VDS is not the only switch option in NSX-T configurations. VDS is also supported in newer NSX-T versions.
