Which two configurations must be considered when scaling an NSX Edge Cluster in VMware Cloud Foundation?

Question

Options

• AEnsure that the vCenter Server is set to HA mode
• BVerify the BGP configuration for route propagation
• CAdd or remove edge transport nodes
• DEnsure that storage policies are properly assigned

• A
  8% (5)
• B
  77% (49)
• D
  16% (10)

Explanation

Scaling an NSX Edge Cluster requires adding or removing edge transport nodes (C) to adjust capacity, and verifying BGP configuration (B) because edge nodes participate in dynamic routing - adding or removing nodes changes the routing topology, which can disrupt route propagation if BGP peers and route reflectors aren't reconfigured accordingly. These two are tightly coupled: you can't just scale the cluster without accounting for how traffic is advertised externally.

A is wrong because vCenter HA mode governs vCenter's own availability, not NSX Edge Cluster scaling - it has no bearing on edge node capacity or routing. D is wrong because storage policies apply to VM workloads, not to NSX Edge transport nodes, which are network-function components, not storage consumers.

Memory tip: Think "scale = nodes + routes" - whenever you resize the cluster (nodes), you must re-examine how routes flow (BGP). The other two options belong to different domains: compute HA (vCenter) and storage (policies).
