VMware vSphere 6 Beta — Question 31

How is high availability of the NSX Edge Gateway accomplished?

Answer options

• A. HA Application Monitoring on the Edge Gateway sends a heartbeat to the ESXi host.
• B. VMware Tools on the Edge Gateway sends a heartbeat to the ESXi host.
• C. The Edge appliance sends a heartbeat through an uplink interface.
• D. The Edge appliance sends a heartbeat through an internal interface.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Edge appliance utilizes an internal interface to maintain a heartbeat for high availability. Options A and B mention sending heartbeats to the ESXi host but do not specify the correct method, while option C incorrectly states that the heartbeat is sent through an uplink interface, which does not support high availability in this context.
