2V0-41.24 Question 65
Select 2A network administrator is designing a VMware NSX-T Data Center environment. The administrator needs to ensure that logical switching components properly interact for east-west traffic between virtual machines on the same overlay network. Which components are directly involved in this interaction?
- A
Transport Zones
- B
Overlay Logical Switch
- C
Tier-0 Gateway
- D
Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP)
- E
Edge Node
- F
NSX Manager
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
For virtual machines on the same overlay network to communicate, the Overlay Logical Switch provides the Layer 2 connectivity, while the Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) encapsulates and decapsulates the traffic for transmission over the physical network. These components work together to enable east-west traffic in a logical switching environment.
- A. Incorrect.
Transport Zones define the scope of logical switches but are not directly involved in the forwarding of east-west traffic.
- B. Correct.
Overlay Logical Switches are essential for enabling communication between virtual machines on the same network segment.
- C. Incorrect.
Tier-0 Gateway is typically used for north-south traffic and does not directly handle east-west traffic within the same overlay network.
- D. Correct.
Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) encapsulates and decapsulates traffic for overlay networks, enabling communication between hypervisors.
- E. Incorrect.
Edge Nodes are primarily used for north-south traffic and services like NAT or load balancing, not east-west traffic within the same overlay.
- F. Incorrect.
NSX Manager is the control plane component that manages configurations but does not directly handle data plane traffic.
