CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 118

A company has a private cloud NAC solution in place to prevent unauthorized/non-company assets from connecting to the internal network. A cloud systems administrator cannot add a new physical server to the existing functioning cluster.
Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. Server objects were deleted.
• B. The DNS and DHCP servers are down.
• C. The new physical server has a faulty NIC.
• D. Server MAC addresses are not being updated.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most likely reason for the inability to add the new physical server is that server objects were deleted, which would prevent the addition of new hardware. The other options, while potentially problematic, do not directly relate to the ability to add a server to the cluster. For example, if DNS or DHCP were down, it might affect network access but not the addition of server objects.
