VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 50
Select 3You are tasked with scaling an NSX Edge cluster by adding a new edge transport node to improve network performance. Which of the following steps must be performed to ensure the new edge transport node is successfully added to the cluster?
- A
Assign the new edge transport node to the appropriate tier-0 or tier-1 gateway.
- B
Ensure the new edge transport node is part of the same transport zone as the existing nodes in the cluster.
- C
Manually configure the new edge transport node's routing tables to match the existing nodes.
- D
Add the new edge transport node to the associated edge cluster in the NSX Manager UI.
- E
Verify that the new edge transport node has sufficient resources and meets the deployment requirements.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D, E
Explanation
To scale an NSX Edge cluster by adding a new edge transport node, administrators must ensure that the new node is correctly configured and integrated into the cluster. This involves verifying resource requirements, ensuring compatibility with the existing transport zone, and adding the node to the edge cluster in NSX Manager. These steps ensure seamless integration and proper functionality of the new node within the cluster.
- A. Incorrect.
While gateways (tier-0 or tier-1) can utilize edge transport nodes, assigning the new node to a gateway is not a required step during the process of adding it to the edge cluster. This is typically done later when configuring gateway services.
- B. Correct.
The new edge transport node must be part of the same transport zone as the existing nodes to ensure it can participate in the overlay network and support traffic forwarding.
- C. Incorrect.
Routing tables are automatically managed by NSX, and manual configuration is not required during the addition of a new edge transport node.
- D. Correct.
Adding the new edge transport node to the edge cluster in the NSX Manager UI is a critical step to ensure the cluster recognizes and utilizes the new node.
- E. Correct.
Verifying that the new edge transport node has sufficient resources and meets the deployment requirements is essential to ensure its proper functioning within the cluster.
