When configuring an alert email in Prism Central deployment within an NC2 environment, what is required in order for the emails to be sent properly?
- A . SMTP server configured in Prism Central Settings
- B . A whitelisted public cloud console endpoint
- C . Cluster Super Admin permissions
- D . Name servers configure in Prism Central
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
SMTP Server Configuration: To send alert emails from Prism Central, it is essential to configure an SMTP server in the Prism Central settings. This server handles the email sending process, ensuring that alerts generated by Prism Central are properly delivered to the specified email addresses.
Email Notification Setup: The SMTP server settings include the server address, port, and authentication details. Once these settings are correctly configured, Prism Central can use the SMTP server to send out alert emails reliably.

Question #23
Which action should the administrator take to troubleshoot the error shown in the exhibit?
- A . Check the NC2 organization permissions.
- B . Check the Azure AD App registration Client Secret.
- C . Check the Azure subnet delegation status.
- D . Check the PC VNet is peered correctly.
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
To troubleshoot the error shown in the exhibit where Azure credentials are not valid and the creation of the resource group failed, the administrator should:
Verify that the Azure AD App registration has been correctly configured, especially the Client Secret. Ensure that the Client Secret is valid, has not expired, and matches what has been entered in the configuration.
This step is crucial because an invalid or expired Client Secret would prevent the validation of Azure credentials and the creation of necessary resources.

Question #24
Which statement best describes south bound traffic to a Nutanix User VPC originating outside the BC2 cluster when using a no-NAT (routed path) having two or more Flow Gateways (FGW)?
- A . A BGP gateway runs on the CVM of the bare-metal hosts. The BGP gateway advertises externally routable IP addresses to the Azure Route Server, with each active FGW external IP address the next hop.
- B . A BGP gateway runs inside of Prism Central. The BGP gateway advertises externally mutable IP addresses to the Azure Route Server, with each active FGW external IP address as the next hop.
- C . A BGP gateway is deployed as Azure native VMs in the Prism Central VNet. The BGP gateway advertises externally routable IP addresses to the Prism Central, with each active FGW external IP address as the next hop.
- D . A BGP gateway is deployed as Azure native VMs in the Prism Central VNet. The BGP gateway advertises externally routable IP addresses to the Azure Route Server, with each active FGW external IP address as the next hop.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
BGP Gateway Deployment: The BGP gateway is deployed as Azure native VMs within the Prism Central VNet. This deployment ensures seamless integration with Azure’s networking infrastructure.
Route Advertisement: The BGP gateway advertises the externally routable IP addresses to the Azure Route Server. This setup allows for dynamic routing and efficient traffic management.
Flow Gateways (FGW) as Next Hops: Each active Flow Gateway’s external IP address is used as the next hop. This configuration ensures that southbound traffic is correctly routed to the appropriate Flow Gateway, providing efficient and reliable connectivity.

Question #25
An administrator is seeking help with an ongoing NC2 issue. After reaching out to Nutanix support, the administrator is introduce to the NC2 specialist who can help troubleshoot the problem.
How can the administrator verify that the NC2 specialist has access to the necessary organizations?
- A . Provide the specialist with the administrator’s login credentials.
- B . Confirm the Support Authorization on the organization is set to Full Access.
- C . Add the specialist as an admin user to the organizations.
- D . Ensure the specialist is assigned the RBAC role with proper permissions.
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
To verify that the NC2 specialist has access to the necessary organizations for troubleshooting the issue, the administrator should:
Confirm that the Support Authorizationon the organization is set to Full Access. This ensures that the NC2 specialist has the required permissions to access the necessary resources and perform the necessary actions to resolve the issue.
Providing login credentials or adding the specialist as an admin user is not recommended due to security and privacy concerns. Ensuring the specialist is assigned the correct RBAC role is another valid approach but confirming the support authorization directly ensures they have the needed access.

Question #26
An administrator has been tasked with ensuring NC2 VMs are able to access Azure and on-premises resources. The NC2 VM traffic must not traverse the internet.
How can the administrator achieve this?
- A . By using an SSH connection
- B . By using an Interface Endpoint
- C . By using ExpressRoute
- D . By using a Site-to-Site VPN
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
Requirement Analysis: The NC2 VMs need to access Azure and on-premises resources without traversing the internet, ensuring secure and direct connectivity. Solution SSH Connection: Suitable for individual remote access, not for full VM connectivity to Azure and on-premises resources.
Interface Endpoint: Facilitates private connectivity to specific Azure services, but not comprehensive for all resources.
ExpressRoute: Provides private, dedicated connectivity between Azure and on-premises environments. This ensures that traffic does not traverse the public internet, meeting the security and performance requirements.
Site-to-Site VPN: Provides secure connectivity but can involve traversing the internet, which is against the requirements.
Conclusion: ExpressRoute is the optimal solution as it offers a private connection that does not involve internet traversal, ensuring secure and efficient access to both Azure and on-premises resources.

Question #27
An administrator is tasked with allowing inbound connectivity for a user VM that resides on a NAT network. The …… communicating successfully with other VMs in the NAT network.
The cluster has the following characteristics
A Transit VPC exists
* A User VPC exists
* A NAT subnet has been created
* 25 floating IP addresses are in use by other VMs
* Routes have been configured
When the administrator attempts to assign a floating IP address to the VM, none are available.
What is the reason for this?
- A . An external DHCP server needs to be deployed into the cluster.
- B . An additional Flow Gateway instance is required.
- C . Geneve encapsulation only supports 25 Floating IP addresses.
- D . Additional floating IP addresses need to be requested.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
Floating IP Address Limitation: The cluster already has 25 floating IP addresses in use by other VMs. If the administrator cannot assign a floating IP address to the new VM, it is because the pool of available floating IPs is exhausted.
Requesting Additional Floating IPs: To resolve this issue, the administrator needs to request additional floating IP addresses to be allocated to the NAT subnet. This will ensure that there are enough IP addresses available for all VMs requiring inbound connectivity.

How many Azure Ready Nodes, at a minimum, must the administrator ensure are deployed within the cluster?
- A . 1
- B . 3
- C . 5
- D . 6
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
Minimum Node Requirement: For production deployments, Nutanix typically requires a minimum of three nodes to ensure high availability and fault tolerance within the cluster.
Azure Ready Nodes: Deploying at least three Azure Ready Nodes allows the cluster to provide redundancy, ensuring that the failure of a single node does not affect the overall availability and performance of the cluster.

Which action should the administrator take to do this?
- A . Configure permissions in cloud accounts to restrict access to certain regions.
- B . Open a support ticket with Nutanix to whitelist the allowed regions for the Finance N
- C . Configure RBAC roles on the Finance NC2 organization to allow access to regions.
- D . Specify allowed regions when configuring a cloud account for the Finance NC2 organization.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
Cloud Account Configuration: When setting up a cloud account for the NC2 organization, the administrator can specify which regions are available for deploying clusters.
