   What is a key impact of ECMP on network performance and redundancy?

   • AIt eliminates the need for routing protocols by using static routes
   • BIt increases aggregate bandwidth and provides automatic failover to remaining paths if one path fails
   • CIt guarantees packet ordering by sending all packets over a single path
   • DIt reduces latency by always selecting the path with the fewest hops

   An NSX edge node fails in an active-standby configuration. What is the expected failover behavior for the services running on that edge node?

   • AThe standby node becomes active and takes over the services with minimal disruption.
   • BThe services remain down until the failed node is manually restarted.
   • CThe services are redistributed across all remaining edge nodes in the cluster.
   • DThe services are automatically migrated to a different edge node in a different cluster.

   In NSX networking, what is the primary purpose of Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP)?

   • ATo provide a single default route for all external traffic from the overlay network
   • BTo distribute traffic across multiple equal-cost next hops to improve bandwidth utilization and provide redundancy
   • CTo select the single best path based on lowest latency and highest bandwidth
   • DTo encrypt traffic between NSX Edge nodes and the physical network
