Exam NCP-NS-7.5 Topic 1 Question 105 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-NS-7.5 exam
Question #: 105
Topic #: 1
The alert details mention a specific external network. Attempts to assign new Floating IPs to VMs fail, but existing Floating IPs continue to work. What is the cause of this alert?

Suggested Answer: D 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 D, meaning
"There are no more available IP addresses in the address pool configured for Floating IPs in that external network.". 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. Operationally, Flow Virtual Networking should be checked from the control plane outward: gateway health, peering state, route advertisement, ERP coverage, external path, and MTU when encapsulation is involved. Seen from a design perspective, the correct answer is the least ambiguous and most supportable implementation path inside Prism Central and AHV. Notice that 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 security stack than the one causing the outcome here. Seen operationally, the correct response is.
