On a Nutanix cluster, what does Network Segmentation refer to?
Network Segmentation on a Nutanix cluster refers to isolating management traffic from storage replication traffic. This segregation enhances security and performance by ensuring that different types of network traffic do not interfere with each other.
You can separate management traffic from storage replication (or backplane) traffic by creating a separate network segment (LAN) for storage replication.
i believe A is the correct answer https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide:wc-network-segmentation-intro-wc-c.html
Found it! A is the correct answer. It took me a while, but here's the link: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=BP-2071-AHV-Networking:cvm-network-segmentation.html
A. Isolating management traffic from storage replication traffic.
A seems to be right answer
Isolating Backplane Traffic by using VLANs (Logical Segmentation) You can separate management traffic from storage replication (or backplane) traffic by creating a separate network segment (LAN) for storage replication.
Per AOS 6.7 Security Guide- You can separate management traffic from storage replication (or backplane) traffic by creating a separate network segment (LAN) for storage replication.

Not thinking C, when the 3rd line in the link you posted states this: Isolating Backplane Traffic by using VLANs (Logical Segmentation) You can separate management traffic from storage replication (or backplane) traffic by creating a separate network segment (LAN) for storage replication. For more information about the types of traffic seen on the management plane and the backplane, see Traffic Types In a Segmented Network.
Hotwired is right, A is the correct answer
Storing my choice here for future
I can't find a definitive answer on this, but I do believe C: is the correct answer. Intra-cluster traffic is the same as Backplane LAN traffic - communication between the clusters and components like the CVMs. Management traffic is for communication to and from the VMs and the CVMs. More about it here, but yeah, I think it's C. https://domalab.com/nutanix-vm-network-prism/
This is WRONG - don't pay attention to this post. The real correct answer is A
