VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 48
Select 3You are deploying an NSX Edge cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. Which of the following considerations for Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) configuration are required to ensure proper connectivity and functionality?
- A
Each NSX Edge node must have a unique TEP IP address.
- B
The TEP IP range must be routable between the Edge nodes and the transport nodes.
- C
TEP VLANs must be configured on the physical network switches.
- D
Edge nodes and transport nodes can share the same TEP IP address for simplified configuration.
- E
The MTU size for the TEP VLAN must be set to at least 1500 bytes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) configuration is critical for the deployment of an NSX Edge cluster as it enables overlay traffic encapsulation and communication. TEPs require unique IP addresses and proper routing between nodes, and the TEP VLAN must be configured on physical switches to support traffic. Additionally, the MTU size must meet the minimum requirement (1600 bytes) for overlay traffic, ensuring that encapsulated packets are transmitted without fragmentation.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Each NSX Edge node must have a unique TEP IP address to ensure proper communication and avoid IP conflicts within the overlay network.
- B. Correct.
Correct: The TEP IP range must be routable between the Edge nodes and the transport nodes to facilitate overlay traffic encapsulation and communication.
- C. Correct.
Correct: TEP VLANs must be configured on the physical network switches to ensure the required traffic can traverse the physical infrastructure.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Edge nodes and transport nodes cannot share the same TEP IP address as this would create conflict and disrupt overlay traffic.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The MTU size for the TEP VLAN must be set to at least 1600 bytes to support overlay traffic encapsulation, not 1500 bytes.
