Nutanix Certified Services – Core v6.8 (NCS-Core) — Question 19

A consultant is working to setup the network before starting the Foundation process.
How should the consultant complete this task?

Answer options

• A. Using the shared IPMI port, ensure that the connected switch can auto-negotiate to 1 Gbps.
• B. On Nutanix NX Series, connect the IPMI port and any one of the data ports to the switch.
• C. Ensure the IPMI of the nodes are reachable using pre-configured IPMI IPv6 addresses.
• D. Disable IPv6 on the network to which the nodes are connected to ensure that IPv6 unicast is blocked.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because ensuring that the switch can auto-negotiate to 1 Gbps is essential for optimal communication via the shared IPMI port. Option B is incorrect as connecting the IPMI and data ports does not address the negotiation speed. Option C is irrelevant since it focuses on IPv6 reachability rather than the necessary configuration. Option D is incorrect because disabling IPv6 is not required for the Foundation process and could hinder connectivity for IPv6-enabled environments.
