Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 41

A newly hired Nutanix administrator was tasked by the CIO to create a single VM on a test network. The network administrator stated that a native VLAN was used on the Cisco TOR switches with the following parameters:

IP address: 172.16.1.2 -

Network Mask: 258.255.252.0 -

Default gateway: 172.16.1.1 -

VLAN: 1 -
The same parameters were used to create a network profile on Nutanix, but when the VM was created, it had no L3 connectivity.
What should the Nutanix administrator do to fix this issue?

Answer options

• A. Use DHCP as opposed to static IP.
• B. Change VLAN field from vian.1 to vlan.0.
• C. Nutanix removed support for native VLAN.
• D. Enable IPv6 on the VM.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because changing the VLAN field from vlan.1 to vlan.0 aligns with the native VLAN configuration needed for proper L3 connectivity. Option A is incorrect as DHCP would not address the VLAN configuration issue. Option C is not true; Nutanix still supports native VLAN. Option D is irrelevant, as enabling IPv6 does not resolve the lack of connectivity associated with the VLAN configuration.
