VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 45
Select 3You are deploying an NSX Edge cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment to support north-south traffic. Which uplink requirements must be met to ensure proper connectivity and functionality of the Edge nodes?
- A
Each NSX Edge node must have a minimum of two uplinks configured.
- B
Uplinks for the NSX Edge nodes must be connected to different VLANs for redundancy.
- C
Uplinks must be configured with an MTU of at least 1500 bytes.
- D
The NSX Edge cluster uplinks must support both overlay and VLAN traffic.
- E
Each uplink must be assigned a unique IP address from the same subnet.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
For deploying an NSX Edge cluster, it is crucial to meet specific uplink requirements to ensure proper traffic flow and redundancy. Each Edge node must have at least two uplinks for high availability, and these uplinks should be connected to different VLANs for fault tolerance. Additionally, the uplinks must support both overlay and VLAN traffic. While MTU size and IP addressing are important, the specific requirements for MTU (minimum 1600 bytes) and IP address assignment depend on the overlay and VLAN configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct: A minimum of two uplinks is required for redundancy and to ensure high availability in NSX Edge clusters.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Using different VLANs for the uplinks ensures network redundancy and better fault tolerance.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While MTU configuration is important, NSX Edge uplinks require an MTU size of at least 1600 bytes to support overlay traffic, not 1500 bytes.
- D. Correct.
Correct: NSX Edge uplinks must be able to handle both overlay traffic for NSX-T and VLAN traffic for external networks.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While each uplink requires an IP address, they do not have to be from the same subnet. This depends on the network design and requirements.
