A company has an NSX edge cluster with two edge nodes. They want to ensure that if one edge node fails, the other takes over without manual intervention. What should they configure?

Enable HA on the edge cluster and configure the services in active-standby mode.

Use vSphere HA to restart the edge node VM on another host.

Configure a script to manually restart services on the other node.

Enable ECMP on the edge cluster and configure the services in active-active mode.

An NSX administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue in an ECMP-enabled Tier-0 gateway. They notice that one edge node is handling significantly more traffic than the others. What is a likely cause of this imbalance?

The edge node has a higher MTU, so it attracts more traffic.

The edge node is the only one with a route to the destination.

The edge node is configured with a higher priority for ECMP.

The hash algorithm is based on the 5-tuple, and the current traffic mix has many flows with similar hash values.

An NSX administrator is planning to deploy a new edge node cluster. They want to ensure that the edge nodes are protected against hardware failure. What is the primary purpose of deploying edge nodes in a cluster with HA enabled?

To provide redundancy so that if one edge node fails, another can take over its services.

To allow multiple edge nodes to share the same IP address.

To increase the total number of virtual machines that can be hosted.

To enable load balancing of traffic across all edge nodes.

An NSX administrator wants to use ECMP to connect a Tier-0 gateway to two upstream routers. What is the main benefit of this configuration?

It provides a single active path and a standby path in case the primary router fails

It enables the Tier-0 gateway to automatically select the router with the lowest CPU load

It allows the Tier-0 gateway to load-balance traffic across both upstream routers, increasing aggregate throughput

It reduces the number of BGP sessions required between the Tier-0 gateway and the upstream routers

In NSX, what is the role of high availability for services running on edge nodes?

It automatically scales edge nodes based on traffic demand

It balances the load between all edge nodes to maximize performance

It provides redundancy so that if one edge node fails, another can continue to provide the service

It secures the edge nodes from external attacks
