Which two Virtual Private Networks are supported by the NSX Edge Service Gateway?
Which two Virtual Private Networks are supported by the NSX Edge Service Gateway? (Choose
two.)
A, C
It’s A, D.
The layer 3 VPN can be SSL (for clients) or IPSec (site-to-site).
In the VMware NSX Fundamentals slide, the NSX ESGW provides L3-L7 services such as NAT, DHCP, LB, VPN, and FW.
HOWEVER on another slide, there’s Logical VPN: (VPN) Site-to-Site & Remote Access VPN in software and it shows both L2 and L3. Also to confirm the answer of L2 and L3 VPN being supported, check the Design Guide on page 59 (https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/nsx/vmw-nsx-network-virtualization-design-guide.pdf):
“Virtual Private Network (VPN) Services –
The last two NSX logical network functionalities discussed in this paper are Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. Those are divided in two categories: L2 VPN and L3 VPN.
Doh,something is amiss. I honestly don’t know why L3 VPN isn’t a valid answer. I’m going to track back and agree with Albert.
Page 15 of the design guide:
“L2 and L3 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): the NSX Edge also provides VPN capabilities, both at L2 and L3. L2 VPN is usually positioned to extend L2 domains between separate DC sites that are geographically dispersed in support of use cases like compute resources bursting or hybrid cloud deployments. L3 VPNs can either be deployed for allowing IPSec site-to-site connectivity between two NSX Edges or other vendors VPN terminators, or to permit remote users to access the private networks behind the NSX Edge leveraging an SSL VPN connection.”
Maybe it’s this:

NSX Edge supports several types of VPNs:
SSL VPN-Plus allows remote users to access private corporate applications.
IPSec VPN offers site-to-site connectivity between an NSX Edge instance and remote sites.
L2 VPN allows you to extend your datacenter by allowing virtual machines to retain network connectivity across geographical boundaries.
SSL-VPN is not L3-VPN.
Agree to A and C.
Per the NSX 6.1 class student manual… VMware NSX for Internetworking Experts Fast Track V6.1 Student Lecture Manual:
NSX Supports several types of VPNs:
Layer 2 VPN
IPsec VPN
SSL VPN-Plus
