How does logical routing in NSX differ from traditional routing?

Logical routing only works within a single host, while traditional routing spans multiple hosts

Logical routing is performed by software on hypervisors and edge nodes, while traditional routing is performed by dedicated physical routers

Logical routing requires a physical router for each virtual network

Logical routing uses MAC addresses for forwarding decisions, while traditional routing uses IP addresses

An NSX administrator is setting up DHCP for VMs on a logical segment connected to a Tier-1 gateway. The DHCP server is located on the physical network and is reachable via the Tier-0 gateway. The administrator wants the VMs to obtain IP addresses from the physical DHCP server. What should the administrator configure on the Tier-1 gateway?

Configure a DHCP server on the Tier-0 gateway.

Configure a static IP address for each VM.

Configure a DHCP server on the Tier-1 gateway with the IP scope for the segment.

Configure a DHCP relay on the Tier-1 gateway to forward DHCP requests to the physical DHCP server.

What is the function of DHCP relay in NSX?

To translate DHCP packets between IPv4 and IPv6

To filter DHCP traffic based on MAC addresses

To provide DHCP services directly to virtual machines

To forward DHCP requests from clients to a DHCP server on a different network

What is an Edge Cluster in NSX?

A cluster of ESXi hosts that run the NSX distributed firewall

A set of logical switches connected to a single Tier-1 gateway

A collection of NSX Managers used for management plane redundancy

A group of NSX Edge nodes that provide high availability and scale for gateway services

In a logical routing packet walk, what is the first component a packet encounters when leaving a virtual machine?

The distributed router (DR) on the hypervisor
