During the initial configuration of a VSX Gateway cluster, the VSX Administrator is prompted to specify each cluster member's name, as shown below: Which of the following best describes this name?

Question

Exhibit

Options

• AHostname of the individual VSX Gateway in the cluster
• BCustomer for which this VSX Gateway in the cluster
• CAny name the VSX Administrator chooses to describe the cluster member
• DIP Address of the individual VSX Gateway in the Cluster

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  92% (48)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

During initial VSX Gateway cluster configuration, the name field for each cluster member is a user-defined label - the administrator can enter any descriptive string they choose to identify that member within the management interface, making C correct.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because the cluster member name is not bound to the system's actual hostname; they are independent values that may differ.
• B is wrong because VSX cluster configuration is an administrative/technical setup step - it has no concept of a "customer" field at this stage.
• D is wrong because IP addresses are configured separately (for sync interfaces, management IPs, etc.) and are never entered as a member "name."

Memory tip: Think of it like naming a printer on a network - you can call it "Gateway-Member-1" or "Bob's-Firewall" regardless of its hostname or IP. The name is purely an administrative label for human readability inside the VSX management console.
