Nutanix NCS-Core Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Given the reported RX errors on eth2 and the intermittent ping loss as observed from the CVM logs, the best initial troubleshooting step that avoids VM disruption is to inspect the switch port for errors. Option C, "Check the port on the switch side for any errors," is the most direct and non-invasive approach to determining if the issue lies with the network infrastructure rather than the server hardware itself or the configuration.

This action helps identify whether the problem is related to the physical connection (e.g., port issues, switch configuration errors) without altering the current active network setup on the Nutanix node. If errors are found on the switch port, adjustments or repairs can be made accordingly, potentially resolving the RX errors without impacting the running VMs.

When a VM is unable to communicate on the network despite having an IP address assigned, one common issue is incorrect network configuration in terms of VLAN assignment. In the Nutanix AHV, VLANs are configured and managed within Prism Element. The consultant should verify that the virtual NIC (vNIC) of the VM is correctly configured to the intended VLAN that corresponds with the rest of the network. This ensures that the VM can communicate with other devices on the same network segment.References:
