The NCP-NS exam has 60-75 questions in total and must be completed within 90 minutes. That leaves only a narrow time budget per item, so train yourself to flag a difficult question, move on, and circle back later instead of getting stuck. A week or two before your test date, run at least one full timed mock exam in the LatestCram desktop or online test engine under the same 90 minutes limit, and repeat until you can finish with a few minutes left for review.
The passing score for the NCP-NS exam is 300 (scaled score), and the official registration fee is USD 150.

An administrator is deploying a new multi-tenant environment in Prism Central and has created a VPC named TenantVPC1.
The administrator needs to enable external connectivity for this VPC so that some services inside the VPC can be accessed from the corporate network without NAT translation, while other services require Internet access through SNAT translation. The administrator plans to use an External Network(s) to provision this connectivity.
Which configuration should the administrator apply to satisfy this requirement?
- A. Create two External Networks for TenantVPC1: one NAT (for Internet access) and one Routed/No-NAT (for corporate network access). Attach both to the VPC.
- B. Create a single External Network of type NAT only and attach it to TenantVPC1. Define SNAT and Floating IPs for both the corporate-network services and internet-facing services.
- C. Create one External Network of type Routed/No-NAT only, attach to TenantVPC1, and configure routing policy to translate IP addresses for internet-facing services.
- D. Create two External Networks both of type Routed/No-NAT and attach both to TenantVPC1, one for corporate access and one for internet access.
Correct Answer: A π³οΈ
An administrator needs to delegate the management of security policies to a dedicated SecOps team. To enforce the principle of least privilege, the administrator assigns the predefined Flow Policy Author role to a user on the team.
The user confirms they can create, monitor, and enforce security policies. However, when attempting to build a new application security policy for a set of newly deployed VMs, the user reports they are unable to create a new category to group these VMs. The option is not available in the Prism Central UI.
Which statement explains this behavior?
- A. The user's role must be assigned with a scope for the specific projects they manage.
- B. The Flow Policy Author role must be cloned into a custom role before it can be used.
- C. The user is missing the Flow Admin role, which is required for category management.
- D. The Flow Policy Author role can only apply policies to existing categories by design.
Correct Answer: C π³οΈ
An administrator notices that several VMs in a Nutanix AHV cluster are intermittently losing network connectivity. In Prism Central, a critical alert appears:
"Network Function VM (NFVM) packet processing delays"
What is the next step that the administrator should take for this issue?
- A. Disable all Flow policies on the cluster to eliminate microsegmentation as the cause.
- B. Review the Alerts and Events in Prism Central to confirm if the affected host shows NIC or uplink errors.
- C. Increase the MTU size on all virtual switches to improve packet throughput.
- D. Reboot the affected VMs to re-establish virtual NIC connections.
