Nutanix NCP-US Exam - Topic 8 Question 41 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-US exam

Question #: 41
Topic #: 8

[All NCP-US Questions]

An administrator has been directed to configure Volumes to Nutanix's best practices for security.

What should the administrate! do to be compliant?

AEnable at-rest encryption on Volume Groups.

BConfigure Volume Groups to use CHAP.

CUse data services IP for external host connectivity.

DSegment iSCSI traffic to a physically separate network.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The administrator should prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future by using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that synchronizes the clocks of devices on a network with a reliable time source. NTP Servers are devices that provide accurate time information to other devices on a network. By using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server, the administrator can ensure that they have consistent and accurate time settings and avoid any synchronization issues or errors.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 32; Nutanix Files Troubleshooting Guide

Wait, are we really supposed to separate iSCSI traffic physically? Sounds extreme!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think CHAP is more about authentication rather than encryption. I might need to double-check that.

I think the key here is to focus on Nutanix's best practices for security. That suggests the answer is likely related to encryption or network segmentation. I'm going to go with option D - segmenting iSCSI traffic to a separate network.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about securing volumes, so I'm guessing the answer has to do with encryption or access control. I'm leaning towards option A, but I'll double-check the other choices just to be sure.
