When configuring dual encryption in Nutanix, anExternal Key Manager(EKM) is required. This allows the cluster to use an external hardware-based or software-based key management system to securely store and manage encryption keys. The combination of external and native encryption ensures compliance with high security standards.
A. Trusted Platform Module:Incorrect, as TPM is not used for managing dual encryption keys.
B. External Key Manager:Correct, as dual encryption relies on an external system to manage keys.
C. Native Key Manager:Incorrect, as native key management alone does not support dual encryption.
D. Lockdown Mode Enabled:Incorrect, as Lockdown Mode relates to cluster security, not encryption key management.

Question 2
When configuring a physical network switch in Prism Element, what information is required?
Options:
A.
DNS Configuration
B.
NTP Configuration
C.
SMTP Configuration
D.
SNMP Configuration
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When configuring a physical network switch in Prism Element,SNMP Configurationis required to enable monitoring and communication between the Nutanix cluster and the network switch. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to gather metrics and detect issues such as link failures or performance bottlenecks, ensuring the cluster operates efficiently with the physical network infrastructure.

Question 3
Which Nutanix offering allows for extending an on-prem datacenter into the public cloud?
Options:
A.
Nutanix Cloud Security
B.
Nutanix Cloud Clusters
C.
Nutanix Kubernetes Engine
D.
Nutanix Data Services
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2)enables extending on-premises datacenters into public cloud environments, such as AWS or Azure. This solution allows administrators to seamlessly migrate workloads, scale operations, and manage resources across hybrid cloud environments using a unified control plane.
A. Nutanix Cloud Security:Incorrect, as this focuses on securing workloads in the cloud, not extending datacenters.
B. Nutanix Cloud Clusters:Correct, as NC2 enables hybrid cloud functionality by extending on-prem clusters into the public cloud.
C. Nutanix Kubernetes Engine:Incorrect, as this is used for container orchestration, not hybrid cloud extension.
D. Nutanix Data Services:Incorrect, as this refers to storage and data management capabilities.
