The correct answer is B. Each ARP request will result in four responses. With the same anycast gateway (virtual IP and vMAC) configured on both VSX clusters across the L2 MC-LAG interconnect, an ARP request for the gateway is seen by all four VSX nodes. Since each node is configured to respond with the same vMAC, the client will receive multiple…
Question
Refer to the exhibit. The customer has VSX clusters in two locations interconnected over an MC-LAG interface. If active-gateway configuration uses the same virtual IP address and vMAC on each of the VSX nodes, what must you take into consideration?
Exhibit
Options
- ATransit traffic will increase over the VSX interconnected MC-LAG.
- BEach ARP request will result in four responses.
- CThe configuration would end up in an async setup.
- DOutbound traffic will be load-balanced over all VSX members for each session.

Explanation
With the same anycast gateway (virtual IP and vMAC) configured on both VSX clusters across the L2 MC-LAG interconnect, an ARP request for the gateway is seen by all four VSX nodes. Since each node is configured to respond with the same vMAC, the client will receive multiple (four) ARP replies.
