NCP-CI-Azure Free Practice Test

An on-premises network has been extended to azure with a VPN/ExpressRoute. The routing and peering of VNets is setup and has been confirmed to be correct.
Which statement best describes the state of the traffic flow between the on-prem CVMs and the NC2 CVMs in Azure?

1. A. The Network Security Group of the Flow Gateway VM on the Internal NICs will need to be edited to enable the traffic flow.
2. B. A ticket will need to be put in with Microsoft support to open the subnet ranges from on- premises.
3. C. Traffic will flow directly to the NC2 CVM
4. D. Nothing will block the path by default.
5. E. The Network Security Group of the Flow Gateway VM on the Externa! NICs will need to be edited to enable the traffic flow.

Correct Answer: A
✑ Network Security Groups (NSGs):NSGs control the inbound and outbound traffic to and from Azure resources. For traffic between on-premises CVMs and NC2 CVMs in Azure, the NSGs associated with the Flow Gateway VM's Internal NICs must be configured to allow the required traffic.
✑ Editing NSGs:To enable traffic flow, specific rules must be added to the NSGs to permit traffic from the on-premises network to the NC2 environment. Thisincludes specifying the appropriate source and destination IP ranges and the necessary ports and protocols.

An administrator is planning an NC2 deployment in Azure and wants to connect the company??s on-premises datacenter to the cloud environment.
What connectivity solution should the administrator use to avoid traffic between the locations flowing over the public internet?

1. A. ExpressRoute
2. B. Site-to-Site VPN
3. C. Point-to-Site VPN
4. D. VTEP Gateways

Correct Answer: A
To connect the company's on-premises datacenter to the Azure cloud environment while avoiding traffic over the public internet, the administrator should use Azure ExpressRoute. ExpressRoute provides a private connection to Azure, offering more reliability, faster speeds, and lower latencies compared to typical internet connections. This service ensures that data traffic does not traverse the public internet, enhancing security and performance.References

An administrator is planning on building the network prior to deploying a Nutanix cluster into Azure.
Which two components require their own vNets for NC2 in Azure? (Choose two.)

1. A. Bare-metal instance
2. B. Prism Central
3. C. Azure Load Balancer
4. D. Virtual Network Gateway

Correct Answer: AB
✑ NC2 on Azure Deployment: Deploying Nutanix clusters in Azure involves configuring various components, each needing appropriate network isolation and configuration.
✑ Components and vNets:
✑ Network Isolation: Providing separate vNets for Bare-metal instances and Prism Central ensures optimal performance and management capabilities.
✑ Conclusion: Both Bare-metal instances and Prism Central require their own vNets
in the NC2 on Azure deployment. References:

Exhibit

An NC2 on Azure cluster was deployed with two Flow Gateway in HA (FHW1 and FGW2). After a week of use, four bare-metal nodes were added to the NC2 cluster and additional workloads were added. The existing workloads were using floating IPs to allow inbound traffic to communicate with the running workloads on the NC2 cluster.
It was determined that additional bandwidth for north/south traffic would be needed. Two
additional Flow Gateways were added (FGW3 and FGW4) from the NC2 portal configuration menu.
The existing workloads prior to expansion on the NC2 cluster will be able to use which Flow Gateways using the NAT traffic path after the expansion?

1. A. They will be able to use FGW3 and FGW4 once the NC2 workloads reboots.
2. B. All four Flow Gateways using a MAC/Hash algorithm.
3. C. Only the Flow Gateway each workload was using prior to expansion.
4. D. All four Flow Gateways.

Correct Answer: C
In the NC2 on Azure cluster scenario, the existing workloads were using floating IPs for inbound traffic before the addition of new Flow Gateways (FGW3 and FGW4). The NAT traffic path established initially will continue to direct traffic through the originally assigned Flow Gateways (FGW1 and FGW2). The existing workloads will not automatically utilize the new Flow Gateways (FGW3 and FGW4) without a reconfiguration or reboot, which reassigns the NAT paths.

When configuring an alert email in Prism Central deployment within an NC2 environment, what is required in order for the emails to be sent properly?

1. A. SMTP server configured in Prism Central Settings
2. B. A whitelisted public cloud console endpoint
3. C. Cluster Super Admin permissions
4. D. Name servers configure in Prism Central

Correct Answer: A
✑ SMTP Server Configuration:To send alert emails from Prism Central, it is essential
to configure an SMTP server in the Prism Central settings. This server handles the email sending process, ensuring that alerts generated by Prism Central are properly delivered to the specified email addresses.
✑ Email Notification Setup:The SMTP server settings include the server address,
port, and authentication details. Once these settings are correctly configured, Prism Central can use the SMTP server to send out alert emails reliably.
