QUESTION 4
Which NSX routing protocols offers the most flexible policy control when peering with the physical
environment?
A. BGP
B. OSPF
C. ISIS
D. EIGRP
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: Both the NSX DLR and the NSX ESG support OSPF and BGP.
The primary difference between these routing protocols is the level of control on routes propagation and
attribute manipulations they allow, with BGP being the more flexible of the two. The concept of an Autonomous
System (AS), defined as a group of routers under the same administrative domain, comes also into play.
Routing inside an AS is usually done via an IGP (e.g., OSPF) while routing between Autonomous Systems is
done via an EGP (e.g., BGP).
