To configure a Layer 2 VPN on an NSX for vSphere Edge Gateway for extending an Organization VDC network, a 'Subinterface' is the required interface type. Subinterfaces allow the administrator to configure multiple logical interfaces (or networks) on a single physical interface. This capability is essential when extending networks through a Layer 2 VPN, as it enables the segmentation and proper routing of the extended networks.
B: To configure a Layer 2 VPN on an NSX for vSphere Edge Gateway for extending an Organization VDC network, a "Subinterface" is the required interface type. According to VMware documentation, when configuring the L2 VPN client on the NSX Edge, the administrator must select the subinterfaces to be stretched to the server. These subinterfaces are essentially the organization virtual data center networks configured as subinterfaces on the edge gateway.
