VMware NSX 4.x Professional (2023) — Question 89

In an NSX environment, an administrator is observing low throughput and congestion between the Tier-0 Gateway and the upstream physical routers.

Which two actions could address low throughput and congestion? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Add an additional vNIC to the NSX Edge node.
• B. Configure NAT on the Tier-0 gateway.
• C. Configure ECMP on the Tier-0 gateway.
• D. Configure a Tier-1 gateway and connect it directly to the physical routers.
• E. Deploy Large size Edge node/s.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct options are C and E because enabling ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) on the Tier-0 gateway can help distribute traffic across multiple paths, improving throughput. Additionally, deploying larger Edge nodes can provide more resources to handle higher traffic loads. The other options do not directly address the issue of low throughput and congestion effectively.
