Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 16

A customer wants to isolate a group of VMs within their Nutanix environment for security reasons. The customer creates a VM with two NICs to act as a firewall and installs the appropriate software and certificates. However, no one from the outside can access the application.
What is the likely cause of this problem?

Answer options

• A. A shared volume group must be used by all isolated VMs
• B. More than one NIC cannot be added to a VM
• C. One of the NICs needs to be configured on the internal VLAN
• D. Wireshark is installed on the NAT VM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because for the VM acting as a firewall, one NIC must be on the internal VLAN to allow communication between the isolated VMs and external traffic. Option A is incorrect as shared volume groups do not affect NIC configurations. Option B is false since a VM can indeed have multiple NICs. Option D is irrelevant to the networking issue at hand.
