Nutanix Certified Services – Core v6.8 (NCS-Core) — Question 1

A consultant asks a customer to verify the ToR Switch data port configuration was done according to Nutanix best practices. The switch configuration must simplify future deployments and expansions.
Which two configuration actions will satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Disable multicast and broadcast flood optimizations.
• B. Configure the CVM and hypervisor host VLAN as the native.
• C. Use a tagged VLAN for the CVM and hypervisor hosts.
• D. Configure the connected switch ports as access.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Configuring the CVM and hypervisor host VLAN as the native (option B) ensures proper communication without needing tagging, which is crucial for Nutanix environments. Setting the connected switch ports as access (option D) allows for straightforward device connectivity and simplifies the network configuration for future expansion, while the other options either complicate the setup or are not aligned with best practices.
