VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 12

The Tier-O (TO) router will send northbound packets through which device?

Answer options

• A. The AWS Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) of the VMware ESXi host that the active TO Edge virtual machine is currently running on.
• B. The AWS Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) of the VMware ESXi host where the packet is originating from.
• C. The AWS Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) of the VMware ESXI host that the passive TO Edge virtual machine is currently running on.
• D. The AWS Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) of the VMware ESXi host that is currently the least utilized.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Tier-O router sends northbound packets through the active TO Edge virtual machine's host's ENA. Options B and C are incorrect as they refer to the originating host or the passive virtual machine, which do not handle the northbound traffic. Option D is also incorrect since it does not specify the active machine responsible for routing the packets.
