Exam NCP-NS-7.5 Topic 1 Question 41 Discussion

From a Nutanix exam perspective, this question is really testing whether the administrator understands the control point that actually governs the behavior shown in the scenario. The correct response is A, meaning
"2058 Bytes". MTU planning matters because encapsulation adds overhead. When overlay, Geneve, VXLAN, or IPSec is present, a path that looks healthy at 1500 bytes can still fragment or drop larger frames unless the underlay and endpoints are sized correctly. In practice, this falls into virtual network design: VPC structure, subnet type, external network behavior, routing intent, and address exposure are what determine the result. By contrast, B does not fit because it targets a different layer of the Nutanix networking and security stack than the one causing the outcome here. C does not fit because it targets a different layer of the Nutanix networking and security stack than the one causing the outcome here. Seen operationally, the correct response is the least disruptive and most deterministic one. It changes the exact Nutanix setting that governs the outcome instead of introducing workarounds elsewhere in the stack. A strong exam habit is to ask which Nutanix construct would have to change for the symptom.
