VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 52

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Non-Preemptive policy allows a standby node to remain active without switching back to the previously active node after it recovers, which aligns with the requirement. In contrast, Preemptive and Enable Preemptive policies would allow the failed node to reclaim its active status upon recovery, which is not desired in this scenario. Disable Preemptive does not exist as a valid option in this context.
