Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 110

AHV IPAM assigns an IP address from the address pool when creating a managed VM NIC.
At which two instances does the address release back to the pool? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The VM is deleted
• B. The IP address lease expires
• C. The IP address is changed to static
• D. The VM NIC is deleted

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The IP address is released back to the pool when the VM is deleted (A) or when the VM NIC itself is deleted (D). The IP address lease expiration (B) does not cause an immediate return to the pool, and changing the IP address to static (C) means it is no longer managed by IPAM, thus not releasing it back.
