When configuring VSX Gateway Clustering the VSX Administrator assigns a unique _____________ to each VSX Gateway in the cluster.

Question

Options

• ASubnet Mask
• BName
• CInitial State (Active/Standby)
• DManagement server
• ESynchronization interval

• A
  7% (1)
• B
  93% (14)

Explanation

In VSX Gateway Clustering, each VSX Gateway must be assigned a unique Name to distinguish it within the cluster - this is the fundamental identifier the VSX Administrator uses to manage, reference, and differentiate individual gateways during configuration.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Subnet Mask): Subnet masks are network configuration values shared across interfaces, not unique cluster identifiers assigned per gateway.
• C (Initial State): While Active/Standby states are configured in clustering, they describe a gateway's role rather than a unique identifier - and multiple gateways can share the same state.
• D (Management Server): All gateways in a VSX cluster typically connect to the same management server, so this is shared, not unique per gateway.
• E (Synchronization Interval): Sync intervals are a cluster-wide timing setting, not a per-gateway unique value.

Memory tip: Think of naming like labeling servers in a rack - before you can do anything else with each gateway, you need a distinct label (name) to tell them apart. "Name first, configure second."
