Exam NCP-NS-7.5 Topic 1 Question 64 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-NS-7.5 exam
Question #: 64
Topic #: 1
An administrator creates an Isolation Policy in Prism Central to prevent communication between the Prod and Staging environments. The policy is in Enforce mode... but VMs in the two environments can still communicate. Which configuration issue most likely explains why the Isolation Policy is not blocking the traffic?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

A reliable method here is to translate the scenario into Nutanix terms-VPC routing, external connectivity, policy scope, identity mapping, or upgrade readiness-and then choose the answer that directly addresses that domain. The correct response is C, meaning "An Application Policy allows traffic between the same categories, overriding this policy.". Enforce mode is the stage where Flow stops acting like a discovery tool and starts behaving like a stateful control point. Traffic allowed by the policy continues normally, while traffic that does not match an allowed rule is denied according to policy logic. An Isolation Policy is built to stop communication between defined groups. Unlike an application policy, it is intended to create a hard boundary, making it the correct choice when the requirement is "no traffic between these entities." From a troubleshooting standpoint, the validation path is policy scope first, then categories or identity mapping, then hitlog evidence, service definition, and finally policy precedence. By contrast, A does not fit because it targets a different layer of the Nutanix networking and security stack than the one causing the outcome here. B does not fit because it targets a different layer of the Nutanix networking and.
