Exam NCP-NS-7.5 Topic 1 Question 91 Discussion
Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-NS-7.5 exam
Question #: 91
Topic #: 1
Question #: 91
Topic #: 1
An administrator is deploying a new multi-tenant environment in Prism Central and has created a VPC named TenantVPC1. The administrator needs to enable external connectivity for this VPC so that some services inside the VPC can be accessed from the corporate network without NAT translation, while other services require Internet access through SNAT translation. The administrator plans to use an External Network(s) to provision this connectivity. Which configuration should the administrator apply to satisfy this requirement?
Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The most professional way to evaluate this question is to map the symptom to the Nutanix feature responsible for that function rather than reacting to secondary details in the prompt. The correct response is A, meaning
"Create two External Networks for TenantVPC1: one NAT (for Internet access) and one Routed/No-NAT (for corporate network access). Attach both to the VPC.". A Floating IP is the normal mechanism for exposing a workload in an overlay-backed VPC to external clients. It preserves internal VM addressing while publishing a reachable external address through the VPC's north-south path. In lifecycle terms, Nutanix expects administrators to respect prerequisites, compatibility, and dependency order before enabling or upgrading Flow-related services.
Notice that B is not appropriate because NAT changes addressing behavior and does not solve the routing or policy condition described in the scenario. C is not appropriate because NAT changes addressing behavior and does not solve the routing or policy condition described in the scenario. That is the underlying Nutanix principle being validated: solve the issue at the feature that owns the behavior, not by changing unrelated infrastructure settings that happen to sound network-oriented.
