2V0-41.24 Question 50
Select 3A network administrator is configuring uplink profiles for their NSX-T environment to ensure consistent network behavior across multiple ESXi hosts. They need to configure an uplink profile that supports multiple teaming policies and allows for VLAN tagging. Which of the following configurations should be included in the uplink profile?
- A
Define a teaming policy to specify active and standby uplinks
- B
Set an MTU value for ensuring proper packet transmission
- C
Assign a VLAN ID for each uplink in the profile
- D
Configure transport zones for the uplink profile
- E
Enable LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) on the uplinks
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
An uplink profile in NSX-T is used to define settings for physical NICs, including teaming policies, MTU values, and VLAN tagging. By configuring these elements, the administrator can ensure consistent network behavior across hosts. However, transport zones and LACP are not configured directly within an uplink profile. Transport zones define the scope of NSX-T networking, and LACP is managed on the physical or virtual switch.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Defining a teaming policy is a core function of an uplink profile, as it specifies how network traffic is distributed across physical NICs.
- B. Correct.
Correct: MTU configuration is critical to ensure that the uplink can handle specific packet sizes, especially for VLAN tagging and overlay traffic.
- C. Correct.
Correct: VLAN IDs are assigned to uplinks in an uplink profile to ensure proper segmentation of network traffic.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Transport zones are not configured as part of the uplink profile. Transport zones are associated with logical switches and transport nodes.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: LACP is configured at the vSphere Distributed Switch or physical switch level, not directly within an NSX-T uplink profile.
