VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 43
Select 4You are tasked with deploying an NSX Edge Cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. Which prerequisites must be validated before proceeding with the deployment?
- A
Ensure the ESXi hosts are added to a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS).
- B
Verify that a minimum of two NSX Edge nodes can be deployed.
- C
Confirm that an NTP server is configured and reachable by the NSX Edge nodes.
- D
Ensure that the NSX Edge Cluster has direct internet access for updates.
- E
Verify that appropriate network segments are configured for the Edge uplinks.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, E
Explanation
Deploying an NSX Edge Cluster requires validating several prerequisites to ensure a successful deployment. These include ensuring ESXi host integration with a vDS, deploying at least two Edge nodes for redundancy, configuring NTP for time synchronization, and setting up the necessary network segments for Edge uplinks. Direct internet access is not a prerequisite for the deployment process.
- A. Correct.
The ESXi hosts must be part of a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) to support the NSX Edge cluster deployment, as this is essential for network connectivity.
- B. Correct.
A minimum of two NSX Edge nodes is a requirement for creating a redundant and highly available Edge cluster.
- C. Correct.
An NTP server must be configured and reachable by the NSX Edge nodes to ensure time synchronization, which is critical for proper communication and functionality.
- D. Incorrect.
Direct internet access is not a requirement for deploying an NSX Edge Cluster; updates can be managed manually or through other secure methods.
- E. Correct.
Network segments must be configured for the Edge uplinks to enable proper connectivity for north-south traffic and integration with external networks.
