2V0-41.24 Question 64
Select 3A company has deployed NSX-T Data Center to virtualize its network. The administrator is troubleshooting a logical switching issue and observes that packets are not successfully reaching their destination. Upon further investigation, the administrator suspects a problem with the interaction between the Transport Zone and the Logical Switch. Which of the following factors could be causing this issue?
- A
The Logical Switch is not associated with the correct Transport Zone.
- B
The Edge Node is not configured as a Transport Node in the appropriate Transport Zone.
- C
The VLAN-backed Transport Zone is incorrectly configured on the physical switch.
- D
The Logical Switch has not been assigned a unique VNI (Virtual Network Identifier).
- E
The Uplink Profile for the associated Transport Node is misconfigured.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
Logical Switching in NSX-T Data Center relies on the proper configuration of Transport Zones, Logical Switches, and the underlying network infrastructure. Transport Zones define the scope of logical switching and must align with the associated Logical Switch. Additionally, Transport Nodes such as Edge Nodes must participate within the appropriate Transport Zone. Misconfigurations in the VLAN-backed Transport Zone on the physical network can also break packet forwarding, as the logical network still depends on physical network connectivity in such scenarios. However, VNIs and Uplink Profiles are not directly relevant factors in this specific troubleshooting scenario.
- A. Correct.
The Logical Switch must be associated with the correct Transport Zone, as the Transport Zone determines the scope of the Logical Switch and the Transport Nodes that participate in it.
- B. Correct.
Edge Nodes must be configured as Transport Nodes within the appropriate Transport Zone to facilitate communication for services such as routing and switching.
- C. Correct.
If a VLAN-backed Transport Zone is incorrectly configured on the physical switch, it can lead to packet forwarding issues since the underlying infrastructure connectivity is crucial for logical switching.
- D. Incorrect.
Logical Switches are automatically assigned VNIs, so this is not a likely cause of the issue.
- E. Incorrect.
While the Uplink Profile is important for Transport Node communication, it does not directly influence the interaction between the Logical Switch and the Transport Zone.
