QuestionQ58

Advanced Configuration and Troubleshooting

An administrator is deploying a three-tier application on Nutanix Enterprise Cloud that consists of web, application, and database VMs. Traffic between these servers must be restricted to specific services and ports.

An application-layer firewall VM is deployed on one host in the cluster.

How should the administrator meet this requirement?

  • A Create a network for each type of VM, and use policy-based routing to control the traffic flow
  • B Configure a security policy and service chain redirecting the server traffic through the firewall
  • C Separate the web application and database VMs on to dedicated VLANs
  • D Categorize the VMs in Prism Central and utilize Flow to set a security policy
Explanation

Nutanix Flow security policies can match the required server traffic by service and port and redirect those flows through a service chain. The service chain inserts the firewall VM into the traffic path for application-layer inspection and enforcement.
