NCP-CI-AZURE practice question 2 of 10

An administrator needs to extend an on-premises subnet to an NC2 cluster on Azure. Which set of options should the administrator configure to complete this task?

Full set: 77 questions
Answer options
A: Subnet Type: VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: ESXi, AHV, Hyper-V
B: Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic IPv6 unicast traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: ESXi and AHV Correct answer
C: Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: AHV
D: Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv6 umcasi traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: Hyper-V
Correct Answer:
B. Subnet Type: On-premises VLAN subnets and VPC subnets Traffic Type: IPv4 unicast traffic IPv6 unicast traffic and ARP On-premises Hypervisor: ESXi and AHV
Explanation

Extending an on-premises subnet to NC2 on Azure uses the Layer 2 VPN feature of Nutanix Flow Virtual Networking. This requires connecting an on-premises VLAN-backed subnet to a VPC overlay subnet in the cloud. The connection must support IPv4 unicast traffic and ARP for address resolution across the stretched L2 segment. Modern implementations also support IPv6. The on-premises component, the Nutanix VPN gateway appliance, is officially supported on AHV and ESXi hypervisors.

Why Incorrect

A. This is incorrect because the configuration must involve both on-premises VLAN subnets and cloud VPC subnets, not just VPC subnets.
C. This is too restrictive. The on-premises VPN gateway appliance is supported on both AHV and ESXi, not just AHV.
D. This is incorrect as it omits the mandatory support for IPv4 traffic. Additionally, Hyper-V is not a supported platform for the on-premises VPN gateway appliance.
