A service provider assigns two Partner Gateways to a VMware SD-WAN Edge. Which description is correct about default route?

Question

Options

• AA default route 0.0.0.0/0 can be configured as a static route and set to NAT only on the Gateway
• BIt default route 0 0 0.010 has been configured for both Gateways, internet traffic originated from
• CWhen handoff is turned off on a Partner Gateway, the Gateway does not advertise a default route
• DThe service provider administrator decides whether the Partner Gateway advertises a default route

• A
  94% (29)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because in VMware SD-WAN, a Partner Gateway can have a static route of 0.0.0.0/0 explicitly configured with a NAT-only action, meaning internet-bound traffic from the Edge is NAT'd at the Gateway before exiting to the internet - this is a supported and commonly deployed service provider configuration.

Option B is wrong (and appears truncated/malformed in the question itself) - even if both Gateways have a default route configured, traffic routing behavior follows SD-WAN policy and Gateway priority, not a simple dual-path split.

Option C is wrong because the "handoff" setting controls whether the Gateway passes traffic to connected MPLS/private network segments, not whether it advertises a default route - these are independent configurations.

Option D is wrong because it is too vague; the default route advertisement is driven by whether a 0.0.0.0/0 static route is actually configured on the Gateway, not merely by an administrative decision. Configuration is required, not just intent.

Memory tip: Think "A = Advertised via a static route with NAT action" - the keyword combo static route + NAT only is the precise mechanism that makes Option A uniquely correct, distinguishing it from the vague language in D.
