VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 25

An architect is helping an organization with the Logical Design of an NSX-T Data Center solution.
This information was gathered during the Assessment Phase:
✑ Maximum performance and availability is required between the physical and virtual network.
✑ Load Balancing service is required for back-end web servers.
✑ NAT is required.
Which selection should the architect include in their design? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy a Tier-1 gateway and connect it to an Active/Active Tier-0 gateway with ECMP configured.
• B. Deploy an Active/Active Tier-0 gateway and configure ECMP.
• C. Deploy an Active/Standby Tier-0 gateway and configure ECMP.
• D. Create two separate VLANs to connect the Tier-0 gateway upstream traffic and configure ECMP.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an Active/Standby Tier-0 gateway provides the necessary high availability and performance required for the NSX-T Data Center solution. Option A is incorrect because it suggests a Tier-1 gateway which does not meet the primary requirements. Option B, while it mentions an Active/Active setup, does not align with the need for NAT. Option D introduces unnecessary complexity with VLANs and does not address the load balancing and NAT requirements effectively.
