VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 49
Select 3You are tasked with scaling an NSX Edge cluster in your VMware Cloud Foundation environment to support increased traffic demands. Which steps should you perform to successfully add a new Edge transport node to the cluster?
- A
Ensure the new Edge transport node is added to the same transport zone as the existing nodes in the cluster.
- B
Deploy the new Edge transport node using the SDDC Manager and assign it to the appropriate cluster.
- C
Manually edit the cluster configuration file to include the new Edge transport node.
- D
Verify the connectivity between the new Edge transport node and the NSX Manager before adding it to the cluster.
- E
Reconfigure the Tier-1 gateway to manually redistribute traffic to the new Edge transport node.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To scale an NSX Edge cluster by adding a new Edge transport node, it is essential to follow best practices to ensure proper integration and functionality. This includes adding the new node to the same transport zone, deploying it through the SDDC Manager for consistency, and verifying connectivity with NSX Manager. Manual configurations or traffic redistribution adjustments are typically unnecessary as the NSX platform handles these automatically.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Adding the new Edge transport node to the same transport zone ensures consistent connectivity and routing across all nodes.
- B. Correct.
Correct. The SDDC Manager is used to deploy and manage NSX Edge transport nodes in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cluster configuration files should not be manually edited as it can lead to misconfigurations and errors.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Verifying connectivity between the new Edge transport node and the NSX Manager ensures the node can communicate and function properly within the cluster.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Traffic redistribution is handled automatically by the NSX control plane, and manual reconfiguration is not required in this scenario.
