In NSX, what is the primary characteristic of north-south traffic?

Traffic between workloads on different logical segments

Traffic between hypervisors in the same cluster

Traffic between workloads and the internet or physical networks

Traffic between the NSX Manager and the hypervisors

In the NSX logical routing packet walk, what does the egress processing on a logical router typically involve?

Encapsulating the packet in VXLAN for transport across the physical network

Performing a routing table lookup to determine the next hop

Applying firewall rules and NAT before forwarding the packet out the appropriate interface

Updating the routing table with the packet's source address

When troubleshooting a packet walk issue in NSX, what is a common cause of blackholing?

The NSX Manager being unavailable

The physical network being congested

A missing or incorrect route in the logical router's routing table

Excessive VXLAN encapsulation overhead

In NSX logical routing, how does a logical router determine the next hop for a packet?

By performing a longest prefix match (LPM) lookup in its routing table

By using the destination MAC address to find a matching route

By querying the NSX Manager for the destination's location

By broadcasting an ARP request to all segments

An administrator is troubleshooting a blackhole issue. VMs on segment 'A' can reach VMs on segment 'B', but VMs on segment 'B' cannot reach VMs on segment 'A'. Both segments are connected to the same Tier-1 gateway. What is the most likely cause?

The VMs on segment 'B' have a wrong default gateway.

The Tier-1 gateway is in a failed state.

The Tier-1 gateway has a route for 'A' but not for 'B'.

A firewall rule on the Tier-1 gateway that allows traffic from 'A' to 'B' but blocks traffic from 'B' to 'A'.
