Nutanix NCP-NS Exam Questions Instant Access

Question 1

In Nutanix Flow, which action transitions a security policy from observing traffic to actively enforcing the rules?

ADisable Traffic Visualization for the policy.

BEnforce policy by setting its scope.

CChange policy mode from Monitor to Save.

DChange policy mode from Monitor to Enforce.

Answer : D

Question 2

An administrator has deployed a VPC for a multi-tier application on Nutanix AHV. The Web tier requires public internet access, while the App and Database tiers must remain private and isolated.

Which steps should the administrator take to configure the external network correctly?

AUse overlay networks for external access instead of configuring a VPC external network.

BAssign external IPs to all VMs in the VPC to simplify connectivity.

CConfigure an external network for the Web tier subnet and leave App and Database tiers private.

DAttach a single external network to the VPC and allow all tiers unrestricted internet access.

Answer : C

Question 3

A newly-deployed Flow Virtual Networking VPC environment is experiencing connectivity issues... A packet capture on the physical switch shows packets are being fragmented.

What is the probable cause of the packet fragmentation and performance issues?

AA Network Security Group is incorrectly filtering IP fragments.

BThe MTU on the physical or virtual switch layer is set too low.

CThe VM's guest OS network driver is faulty and requires an update.

DThe VPC's external network uplink has an incorrect VLAN ID configured.

Answer : B

Question 4

An administrator notices that several VMs in a Nutanix AHV cluster are intermittently losing network connectivity. In Prism Central, a critical alert appears:

"Network Function VM (NFVM) packet processing delays"

What is the next step that the administrator should take for this issue?

AReview the Alerts and Events in Prism Central to confirm if the affected host shows NIC or uplink errors.

BReboot the affected VMs to re-establish virtual NIC connections.

CIncrease the MTU size on all virtual switches to improve packet throughput.

DDisable all Flow policies on the cluster to eliminate microsegmentation as the cause.

Answer : A

Question 5

An administrator wants to configure the subnet 10.1.1.0/24 to stretch across two VPCs over a Network Gateway in VXLAN mode. The VMs on this subnet need to communicate with a traffic pattern of size 2000 Bytes.

What is the minimum MTU required in the underlay network to ensure communication happens without fragmentation or traffic drops?

A2058 Bytes

B2108 Bytes

C2116 Bytes

D9216 Bytes

Answer : A

Question 6

Refer to the exhibit.

An organization uses an FNS-NG Service Chain to steer application traffic through a pair of third-party firewall Network Function VMs operating in Active/Standby mode.

Users suddenly report that all application access is blocked.

The administrator reviews Prism Central -> Network & Security -> Network Functions, where the summary shown in the exhibit is displayed.

Additional information:

Alert: "Network Function 'PANW Service Insertion' virtual NIC pair(s) are unhealthy."

Both firewall VMs are powered on and reachable.

The security policy using the service chain has not been changed.

Based on the exhibit and findings, what is the most likely cause of the traffic outage?

AThe service-chain health check failed to reroute sessions to the healthy firewall.

BOne of the Network Function vNIC pairs lost dataplane connectivity, interrupting traffic until health is stabilized.

CFirewall policy synchronization was not configured when the standby firewall became active.

DThe inbound vNIC on SE-PA-VM Firewall-2 failed, preventing redirected packets from reaching the firewall.

Answer : B

Question 7

An administrator plans to upgrade a Nutanix cluster running AHV and Prism Central. The current cluster is on AOS 6.10, and the administrator wants to move to AOS 7.3 while ensuring all components remain compatible.

What is the correct upgrade order to minimize downtime and maintain cluster functionality?

AUpgrade CVMs -> Upgrade cluster AOS -> Upgrade Prism Central -> Upgrade AHV hosts

BUpgrade cluster AOS -> Upgrade AHV hosts -> Upgrade Prism Central -> Upgrade CVMs

CUpgrade Prism Central -> Upgrade AHV hosts -> Upgrade CVMs -> Upgrade cluster AOS

DUpgrade AHV hosts -> Upgrade cluster AOS -> Upgrade Prism Central -> Upgrade CVMs
