   What is the primary purpose of high availability (HA) for NSX Edge nodes?

   • ATo increase the number of virtual machines that can be hosted on the edge node
   • BTo ensure continuous operation by failing over to a standby node if the active node becomes unavailable
   • CTo reduce the latency of traffic by placing the edge node closer to workloads
   • DTo encrypt all traffic passing through the edge node

   How do ECMP and high availability work together to provide resilient network connectivity in NSX?

   • AECMP encrypts traffic, and HA provides a backup encryption key
   • BECMP distributes traffic across multiple paths, while HA ensures that if a path or node fails, traffic continues via alternate paths
   • CECMP increases bandwidth, and HA increases the number of paths available
   • DECMP selects the best path, and HA ensures that path is always available

   In an active-active HA configuration for NSX Edge nodes, what is the typical failover behavior?

   • AIf one node fails, the remaining nodes continue to handle traffic, and the failed node's load is redistributed
   • BA standby node is promoted to active to take over the failed node's traffic
   • CAll traffic is halted until the failed node is restored
   • DThe failed node is automatically replaced with a new node

   An organization is deploying NSX in a data center with two upstream routers. They want to use both routers for north-south traffic to avoid a single point of failure. What is the purpose of configuring ECMP on the Tier-0 gateway in this scenario?

   • ATo load balance traffic across the two upstream routers and provide redundancy if one fails.
   • BTo enable stateful failover for firewall services.
   • CTo increase the MTU size for the uplink interfaces.
   • DTo provide a single active path with the other as a standby.

   A company has two internet service providers (ISPs) connected to their NSX Tier-0 gateway. They want to use both ISPs for outbound traffic to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy. What should they configure?

   • AConfigure policy-based routing to send traffic from different subnets to different ISPs.
   • BConfigure a single default route with a higher metric for the second ISP.
   • CConfigure the Tier-0 gateway in active-standby mode with each ISP connected to a different edge node.
   • DConfigure ECMP on the Tier-0 gateway with two equal-cost default routes, one via each ISP.
