VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 54

An architect is developing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution with NSX VPC Full Services Model for single tenant with the following requirement:
The configuration must prevent advertisements from being dropped by the BGP loop detection check.
When designing the network architecture to support this solution, what element should be considered as part of the physical network design?

Answer options

• A. Use a unique, private BGP AS number for each Tier-0 gateway.
• B. Configure edge datapath interface to transports only TEP traffic.
• C. Use iBGP as the routing protocol between the Tier-0 gateway and the physical network.
• D. Adjust the default BGP timers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using a unique, private BGP AS number for each Tier-0 gateway ensures that BGP advertisements are treated as separate entities, preventing any loop detection issues. The other options, while relevant to BGP operation, do not specifically address the requirement of preventing advertisements from being dropped due to loop detection.
