VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 11

A customer wants to use ECMP to provide additional throughput and availability for their critical business applications. Some applications require load balancing for scale and availability.
Which two Edge design choices can an architect present to the customer? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a Tier-0 gateway in Active/Standby mode and a Tier-1 gateway in Active/Standby mode.
• B. Configure ECMP and Load Balancing on the Tier-0 gateway.
• C. Create a Tier-0 gateway in Active/Active mode and a Tier-1 gateway in Active/Standby mode.
• D. Create a Tier-0 gateway in Active/Standby mode.
• E. Configure ECMP on the Tier-0 gateway and Load Balancing on the Tier-1 gateway.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answer is B and D. Option B is right because configuring ECMP and Load Balancing on the Tier-0 gateway directly supports both throughput and availability. Option D is also correct as having a Tier-0 gateway in Active/Standby mode ensures redundancy. The other options either do not leverage ECMP effectively or do not meet both requirements of load balancing and availability.
