NCP-MCA Exam - Question 40


A developer updated a blueprint to ensure that the IP address of the VM is reserved in IPAM as part of the deployment process. The developer noticed that when new VMs are created, they still get a DHCP IP address and not a reserved IP address.

What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

The most likely reason is that the developer created a pre-create task for reserving the IP address. Typically, reserving an IP address should be done before the VM is created so that the VM can be assigned the reserved IP address during its creation. If the task is done post-create, the VM would already have obtained a DHCP IP address by the time the reservation is made, resulting in the behavior described.
