VMware NSX 4.x Professional (2023) — Question 36

An NSX administrator is creating a Tier-1 Gateway configured in Active-Standby High Availability Mode. In the event of node failure, the failover policy should not allow the original failed node to become the Active node upon recovery.
Which failover policy meets this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Enable Preemptive
• B. Non-Preemptive
• C. Preemptive
• D. Disable Preemptive

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Non-Preemptive, as it prevents the failed node from automatically reclaiming the Active status after recovery. Options A and C, which involve preemptive policies, would allow the failed node to take back the Active role, violating the requirement. Option D, Disable Preemptive, does not clearly define a policy that keeps the failed node from becoming Active again.
