When tracing a packet from a source VM to a destination VM on different logical segments in NSX, what is the first logical router the packet typically encounters?

The edge node's uplink interface

The NSX Manager's routing engine

A company has a Tier-0 gateway with an active-active configuration and two edge nodes. A VM sends a packet to an external network. The packet needs to be NATed. Which edge node handles the NAT?

The edge node closest to the source VM.

The edge node with the lowest IP address.

Both edge nodes, because NAT is a distributed service.

The edge node that owns the uplink interface used for the external network.

When is centralized routing typically used in NSX?

For traffic between hypervisors on the same cluster

For traffic that requires stateful services such as NAT, firewall, or load balancing

For all east-west traffic between workloads

For traffic within the same logical segment

How does the insertion of a stateful service like NAT affect the routing path of a packet in NSX?

It forces the packet to be routed through a Tier-0 gateway

It may require the packet to be processed by a centralized edge node instead of being distributed

It causes the packet to be dropped if the service is not available

It has no effect on the routing path

In NSX, how do Tier-0 and Tier-1 gateways interconnect?

Through a VXLAN tunnel that bypasses the transport zone

Through a router link configured in the NSX Manager only

Through a direct physical cable between edge nodes

Through a logical segment that acts as a transit link
