VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 10

What would an architect recommend to a customer that wants to extend management to an additional data center through Layer 2, but does not want to add additional NSX-T licensing? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy a standalone NSX Controller.
• B. Deploy a standalone NSX Manager.
• C. Deploy a standalone Edge as the IPSec VPN.
• D. Deploy Autonomous Edge as the L2 VPN client.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because deploying Autonomous Edge as the L2 VPN client allows for Layer 2 connectivity without requiring additional NSX-T licenses. The other options involve components that either do not fulfill the Layer 2 requirement or would necessitate additional licensing, making them unsuitable for the customer's needs.
