An administrator is troubleshooting east-west routing between two VMs on different overlay segments connected to the same T1 gateway. The T1 has a static route for the destination segment, and the route is in the 'Up' state. However, traffic is still not flowing. What should the administrator check next?

The route advertisement settings on the destination segment.

The NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules on the source and destination VMs.

The BGP session state between the T1 and the T0 gateway.

The MTU settings on the physical switches.

A VM on an overlay segment is experiencing high latency and packet loss when communicating with a VM on a different overlay segment. The underlay is a VXLAN environment with a mix of 1Gbps and 10Gbps physical switches. What is the most likely cause?

The NSX Manager is experiencing high CPU usage.

The BGP session between the T0 and the physical router is flapping.

The overlay segment is configured with a large MTU, causing fragmentation.

The T1 gateway is overloaded with traffic.

An administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two VMs on the same overlay segment but on different ESXi hosts. The VMs can ping each other's IP addresses, but application traffic (TCP port 443) fails. What is the most logical next step in the troubleshooting methodology?

Verify the overlay tunnel status between the two hosts.

Run a packet capture on the source VM's vNIC.

Check the NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules for the segment.

Check the routing table on the T1 gateway.

An NSX-T segment has no connectivity to other segments. The administrator checks the segment's status and sees that the segment is 'UP' but the connected Tier-1 gateway is 'DOWN'. What does this indicate?

The segment is healthy but the Tier-1 is not functioning, so routing is broken

The segment is misconfigured and needs to be recreated

The Tier-1 is fine and the issue is in the segment's subnet configuration

An NSX-T Tier-0 gateway is not advertising a connected overlay segment to its upstream BGP peer. Which configuration element is most likely misconfigured?

The BGP neighbor's remote AS number

The MTU setting on the Tier-0 uplink

Route redistribution from Tier-1 to Tier-0

The overlay segment's subnet mask
