Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 142

An administrator wants to have a VM on an AHV Cluster with access to multiple VLANs.
What is the most efficient way to achieve this?

Answer options

• A. Update a vNIC on the VM to operate in trunked mode for all desired VLANs.
• B. Create a network in AHV associated with all those VLANs on all hosts.
• C. Use SFPs that allow the needed VLANs.
• D. Use one vNIC per VLAN for the VM.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because updating a vNIC to trunked mode allows the VM to handle traffic from multiple VLANs efficiently through a single interface. Options B and D are less efficient as they involve managing multiple networks or vNICs, which can complicate configuration and management. Option C is irrelevant to the virtual network configuration within the AHV environment.
