VMware vSphere 6 Beta — Question 10

When configuring BGP routing in NSX, what is the purpose of the Graceful Restart check box?

Answer options

• A. Automatically restart the peer router when BGP session is established.
• B. Allow packet forwarding to be uninterrupted during restart of BGP services.
• C. Automatically restart the local router when BGP session is established.
• D. Allow packet forwarding to be paused during restart of BGP services.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Graceful Restart feature allows for uninterrupted packet forwarding even when BGP services are restarting, which is crucial for maintaining network stability. Options A and C are incorrect as they suggest automatic restarts of routers rather than ensuring continuous service. Option D contradicts the purpose of Graceful Restart by implying a pause in packet forwarding.
