Free VMware 2V0-41.24 Actual Exam Questions - Question 13 Discussion
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator configured NSX Advanced Load Balancer to load balance the production web server
traffic, but the end users are unable to access the production website by using the VIP address.
Which of the following Tier-1 gateway route advertisement settings needs to be enabled to resolve
the problem? Mark the correct answer by clicking on the image.
I’m thinking option D could be it, since enabling "VIP" route advertisement would specifically tell the Tier-1 to advertise the VIP’s route. Without that, traffic might not reach the load balancer at all.
If the VIP isn’t advertised, the upstream routers won’t know where to send traffic back. Enabling connected route advertisement (C) makes sure the Tier-0 gets the right routing info to reach the VIP subnet.
Option C, advertising connected routes, ensures VIP reachability from Tier-0.
I’d go with option C too. If the VIP subnet isn’t advertised as a connected route from the Tier-1, the Tier-0 won’t know where to send return traffic. That breaks connectivity for users trying to reach the VIP. Without advertising connected routes, the load balancer’s IP won’t be visible in the overall routing, so traffic gets lost. The other options don’t address this fundamental routing visibility issue, so enabling connected routes advertisement is key here.
Another angle is that if the VIP subnet isn't being advertised to the Tier-0 gateway, the traffic won't know where to go. Enabling connected routes advertisement (option C) makes sure that the Tier-0 learns about the VIP subnet directly connected to the Tier-1. This is crucial because without this, return traffic from outside won't reach the VIP and thus the web server. Static routes won’t help if the VIP is a connected subnet, so options B or D seem less likely here. Option A looks unrelated to route advertisement. So, in my view, enabling connected routes is the key fix.
I think option C makes sense here since advertising connected routes lets the Tier-0 know about the VIP subnet. Without that, the traffic won’t route back properly, so users can’t reach the site.
Is the issue here related to the VIP not being advertised properly? The question asks about route advertisement settings on the Tier-1 gateway, but it’s unclear which specific routes we’re supposed to advertise—just the VIP address or all connected routes? Also, do we know if the Tier-1 gateway is connected to the correct Tier-0 gateway that handles the external routing? Without that info, it’s tough to pick the right option confidently.
