VMware NSX 4.x Professional (2024) — Question 16

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

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Configuring ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) on the Tier-0 gateway can help distribute traffic more efficiently, thereby addressing throughput issues. Deploying Large size Edge nodes can provide more resources to handle congestion. The other options either do not directly address throughput or congestion or introduce unnecessary complexity to the network design.
