VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 42
Select 4An administrator is tasked with deploying and configuring an NSX Edge Cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. The environment requires high availability and load balancing services for north-south traffic. During the deployment process, the administrator must ensure that the NSX Edge Cluster is properly integrated with the workload domain. Which of the following steps are required to successfully deploy and configure the NSX Edge Cluster?
- A
Deploy NSX Edge nodes and assign them to the appropriate Edge Cluster.
- B
Configure BGP routing on the Edge Cluster for external connectivity.
- C
Assign the Edge Cluster to a transport zone used for overlay traffic.
- D
Enable Distributed Firewall (DFW) on the Edge Cluster.
- E
Configure NSX-T Manager to recognize the deployed Edge nodes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
To deploy and configure an NSX Edge Cluster, administrators must deploy Edge nodes, assign them to an Edge Cluster, and ensure they are associated with the appropriate transport zone for overlay traffic. Additionally, BGP routing must be configured to enable external connectivity. NSX-T Manager must also be configured to recognize the Edge nodes for management purposes. Enabling Distributed Firewall (DFW) is not relevant to the Edge Cluster and applies only to workloads at the distributed level.
- A. Correct.
Correct: NSX Edge nodes must be deployed and assigned to an Edge Cluster to provide north-south traffic services and ensure proper integration with the workload domain.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Configuring BGP routing on the Edge Cluster is essential for enabling external connectivity and routing in the environment.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Assigning the Edge Cluster to a transport zone ensures that it can participate in overlay traffic, which is a critical part of NSX-T configurations.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Distributed Firewall (DFW) is not enabled on the Edge Cluster. DFW is a feature of NSX-T that applies to workloads at the distributed level, not the Edge Cluster itself.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Configuring NSX-T Manager to recognize the deployed Edge nodes ensures proper management and functionality of the Edge Cluster.
