An administrator wants a VM to communicate with two separate VLANs. What steps should the administrator complete?
The correct answer is A. Add two NICs to the VM and configure one for each VLAN. To allow a VM to communicate with two separate VLANs, the administrator must add two NICs to the VM - one connected to each VLAN. In Nutanix AHV (and most hypervisors), each vNIC is attached to a specific virtual network (subnet/VLAN). A single NIC cannot be natively configured…

Explanation
To allow a VM to communicate with two separate VLANs, the administrator must add two NICs to the VM - one connected to each VLAN. In Nutanix AHV (and most hypervisors), each vNIC is attached to a specific virtual network (subnet/VLAN). A single NIC cannot be natively configured for two separate VLANs without VLAN trunking at the guest OS level, which is complex and not a standard VM configuration. IPAM (B) handles IP address management but does not assign VLANs. Security Policies (D) control traffic filtering, not VLAN assignment.
