   A VCF administrator notices that workloads in a single NSX-T segment intermittently lose connectivity to the external network. The NSX Edge nodes show high CPU usage on the gateway service, and the gateway's HA status shows 'Standby' on one node and 'Active' on the other. The administrator checks the NSX Edge node resource utilization and sees memory usage at 85% on both nodes. What is the most likely cause of the intermittent connectivity loss?

   • AThe external network is experiencing routing loops, causing traffic to be dropped intermittently.
   • BThe standby Edge node is not receiving heartbeats, causing a split-brain scenario.
   • CThe logical switch is misconfigured, preventing traffic from reaching the gateway.
   • DThe gateway is experiencing resource contention on the active Edge node, causing packet drops.

   • BThe firewall rule's section is not expanded.
   • CThe firewall rule is set to 'Drop' for the traffic's source and destination.

   Which metric is most likely to indicate that an NSX Gateway is experiencing a CPU bottleneck?

   • AThe gateway's CPU utilization is consistently above 90%.
   • BThe ESXi host's memory utilization is high.
   • CThe NSX Manager's API response time is high.

   A VCF administrator is troubleshooting an NSX Edge node that is showing 'Degraded' status in the NSX-T UI. The administrator checks the Edge node's resource utilization and sees that the CPU usage is at 95% and memory usage is at 90%. The Edge node is part of a Tier-1 gateway with HA enabled. What should the administrator do first?

   • AIncrease the Edge node's CPU and memory allocation in the vSphere cluster.
   • BCheck the Edge node's logs for any error messages related to the gateway service.
   • CReboot the Edge node to clear the resource usage.
   • DFail over the gateway to the standby Edge node and then investigate the resource usage.

   Which NAT rule issue is most likely to cause traffic from a workload to an external network to fail?

   • AThe NSX Manager's API is not responding.
   • BThe NAT rule's translated IP address is not routable in the external network.
   • CThe vCenter Server's inventory service is not responding.
   • DThe ESXi host's NTP service is not synchronized.
