NCP-CI-Azure Free Practice Test

A nutanix user VPC called servers has three subnets called Tier1, tier2 and Darren-Tier3.
*Servers:10.0.0.0/16
* Tier1: 10.0.0.0/16
* Tier2: 10.0.0.0.128/25
* Darren-Tier3:10.0.4.0/24
An administrator wants to keep Darren-Tier3 isolated and not receive any outside traffic. In order properly route for Tier1 and Tier2 coming from native subnets for Azure, what
should the ERP be set to?

1. A. Transit VPC ERP set to 10.0.0.0/20 and Servers ERP set to 10.0.0.0/24
2. B. Transit VPC ERP set to 10.0.0.0/16 and Servers ERP set to 10.0.0.0/25
3. C. Transit VPC ERP set to 10.0.0.0/24 and Servers ERP set to 10.0.0.0/24
4. D. Transit VPC ERP set to 10.0.0.0/16 and Servers ERP set to 10.0.4.0/24

Correct Answer: D
✑ ERP Configuration: ERP (External Route Prefix) settings determine how traffic is routed between subnets and VPCs.
✑ Objective: The goal is to isolate Darren-Tier3 while ensuring proper routing for Tier1 and Tier2.
✑ Transit VPC ERP: Setting it to 10.0.0.0/16 ensures that it covers the entire VPC range, allowing traffic within Tier1 and Tier2.
✑ Servers ERP: Setting it to 10.0.4.0/24 ensures isolation for Darren-Tier3 by limiting
traffic to that specific subnet and preventing external traffic from reaching it.
✑ Conclusion: This configuration achieves the isolation of Darren-Tier3 while allowing proper routing for Tier1 and Tier2.

What will be observed in the NC2 cluster when terminating a node from the Azure portal?

1. A. NC2 will shutdown the node.
2. B. NC2 will continue re-provisioning the node.
3. C. NC2 will terminate the node from the cluster.
4. D. NC2 will mark the node as degraded.

Correct Answer: D
✑ Node Termination Observation:When a node is terminated from the Azure portal, the NC2 cluster will detect that the node is no longer operational.
✑ Marking as Degraded:NC2 will mark the node as degraded, indicating that the node is not functioning as expected. This status allows administrators to take necessary actions to resolve the issue, such as provisioning a new node or addressing the degradation cause.

An administrator has been tasked with scoping an NC2 on Azure deployment. One of the requirements is to ensure that the bare metal instance will support up to 20 TB of storage capacity.
Which bare metal instance should the administrator choose?

1. A. ND96asr
2. B. AN36P
3. C. AN36
4. D. HB176rs

Correct Answer: B
✑ Storage Capacity Requirement: The requirement specifies that the bare metal instance must support up to 20 TB of storage capacity.
✑ Instance Selection: Among the provided options, the AN36P instance is designed to support higher storage capacities and performance needs.
✑ AN36P Capabilities: The AN36P instance is optimized for storage-intensive applications and provides the necessary hardware specifications to handle up to 20 TB of storage.
✑ Comparison with Other Instances:
✑ Conclusion: Based on the requirements and instance specifications, AN36P is the most suitable choice for supporting up to 20 TB of storage.

An administrator needs to extend an on-premises subnet to an NC2 cluster on Azure. Which set of options should the administrator configure to complete this task?

1. A. Subnet Type: VPC subnetsTraffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic and ARPOn-premises Hypervisor: ESXi, AHV, Hyper-V
2. B. Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic IPv6 unicast traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: ESXi and AHV
3. C. Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: AHV
4. D. Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv6 umcasi traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: Hyper-V

Correct Answer: B
To extend an on-premises subnet to an NC2 cluster on Azure, the administrator should configure:
✑ Subnet Type:Both on-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets. This ensures
that the subnet can span both the on-premises environment and the Azure environment.
✑ Traffic Type:Support for IPv4 unicast traffic, IPv6 unicast traffic, and ARP is
necessary to ensure proper communication and address resolution across the extended subnet.
✑ On-premises Hypervisor:ESXi and AHV are supported hypervisors for this type of
configuration, allowing for a seamless extension of the subnet between these environments.

An administrator needs to attach a network interface to a Flow Gateway VM.
What option should be enabled in the Azure portal and in the OS of the Flow gateway VM to meet this network requirement?

1. A. Port Tagging
2. B. Dynamic Route
3. C. IP Forwarding
4. D. Static Route

Correct Answer: C
✑ IP Forwarding in Azure:Enabling IP forwarding allows the VM to forward network traffic that is not specifically addressed to itself. This is necessary for network devices like the Flow Gateway VM to route traffic correctly.
✑ Network Interface Configuration:Both the Azure portal settings and the VM's operating system must have IP forwarding enabled to ensure proper traffic handling and routing capabilities.
