Question #: 9
Topic #: 1
While configuring a new security policy in a Nutanix microsegmentation environment, an administrator wants the policy to remain flexible even if virtual machines change subnets or obtain new IP addresses. Which configuration approach should the administrator use when defining the policy scope?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
This item is best solved by thinking like an operator in Prism Central: first identify whether the problem is design, control-plane state, or policy logic, then pick the option tied to that layer. The correct response is B, meaning "Use VM categories to define the secured and allowed entities.". The winning option is the one tied to the native Nutanix object or control that governs the outcome described in the scenario. This is a Flow policy design question, so categories, secured entities, rule direction, policy mode, and policy precedence matter more than simple IP connectivity assumptions. A strong exam habit is to ask which Nutanix construct would have to change for the symptom or requirement to change. That mental shortcut usually separates the real answer from distractors that mention generic networking steps, disruptive resets, or unrelated configuration objects. Notice that A sounds plausible, but it does not align with the specific Flow policy object or precedence rule that controls this case. C sounds plausible, but it does not align with the specific Flow policy object or precedence rule that controls this case. In practice, administrators who anchor their decisions to Prism Central constructs-such as VPCs,.
