NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – BlueXP — Question 5

You are installing a new ONTAP 9.7 cluster by following the installation and setup poster. You are ready to complete the initial cluster setup. You have connected your laptop to the management switch. However, when browsing the network, you are unable to discover the ONTAP controllers.
Which statement explains this behavior?

Answer options

• A. You do not have network discovery enabled.
• B. You do not have a static IP address.
• C. You do not have IPv6 configuration set.
• D. You do not have a default gateway set.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because without a default gateway, the laptop cannot communicate with devices outside its local network segment, preventing the discovery of the ONTAP controllers. Options A, B, and C do not directly relate to the inability to discover network devices in this context, as the primary issue is routing outside the local network.
