Nutanix Exam NCP-CI-Azure Topic 4 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-CI-Azure exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 4
[All NCP-CI-Azure Questions]

An administrator has setup a routed external network (No NAT) to use for workload running in NC2 clusters on Azure.

The applications are network intensive, so four gateways VMs have been deployed to meet the high demands. One application server on the NC2 clusters is sending traffic to an outside Azure service.

How many flow gateway VMs will be used to distribute the traffic?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) Routing: ECMP allows multiple gateways to be used simultaneously for load balancing traffic across multiple paths. In this scenario, ECMP is configured to point to the external subnets in the Nutanix Transit VPC.

Traffic Distribution: All four Flow Gateway instances will be used to distribute the outgoing traffic from the application server based on the ECMP default route configuration. This ensures efficient load balancing and utilization of all available gateway resources.

Bidirectional Traffic: Both sending and receiving traffic will utilize all four Flow Gateway instances, ensuring high availability and performance for network-intensive applications.

I believe two flow gateway instances will be used based on MAC address limitations.

I'm not sure, but I think only one Flow Gateway instance will be used per source application.

I agree with Cherry, it makes sense to utilize all four instances for high demands.

Hmm, the question mentions 'high demands' for the network-intensive applications, so I'm going with D as well. Seems like the most scalable solution.

Option B is kind of funny. Using MAC addresses to distribute traffic? That's so 90s!

I think the answer is D. All four Flow Gateway instances will be used for both sending and receiving traffic based on the ECMP default route.
