2V0-41.24 Question 49
Single answerAn organization is configuring an NSX-T Data Center environment and needs to ensure consistent network configuration for its hosts. They plan to use uplink profiles to define settings for teaming policies, MTU, and other network configurations. Which of the following statements about uplink profiles is correct?
- A
Uplink profiles are applied at the Tier-0 Gateway level to configure external connectivity.
- B
Uplink profiles define the physical NICs used by transport nodes for traffic forwarding.
- C
Uplink profiles specify the teaming policy, MTU, and transport VLAN for transport nodes.
- D
Uplink profiles are used to configure the IP addressing scheme for logical switches.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Uplink profiles in NSX-T Data Center are templates used to define network settings for transport nodes. They include configurations like the teaming policy, MTU, and transport VLAN, ensuring consistent and efficient network behavior across hosts. This is essential for defining how transport nodes interact with the physical network.
- A. Incorrect.
Uplink profiles are not applied at the Tier-0 Gateway level; instead, they are used at the transport node level to define network settings such as teaming policies, MTU, and VLANs.
- B. Incorrect.
While uplink profiles indirectly influence the behavior of physical NICs, they do not define the physical NICs themselves. This is configured at the transport node level.
- C. Correct.
This is correct. Uplink profiles are used to specify the teaming policy, MTU, transport VLAN, and other network settings for transport nodes, ensuring consistency across hosts.
- D. Incorrect.
Uplink profiles do not configure IP addressing for logical switches. IP addressing for logical switches is handled by other components, such as segment or DHCP configurations.
