A. Add Now
B. Add One
C. Add Later
D. Add All
A and C. Add Now and Add Later are the two options presented in the wizard.
10. When adding a dvPort group to a dvSwitch, you use the VLAN Trunking option. How many dvPort groups will be required to support three trunked VLANs? A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3
B. VLAN trunking allows a range of trunked VLANs to be entered, which requires only a single dvPort group in the dvSwitch.
- A customer has an NFS server implemented on a dedicated and isolated network. The ESXi hosts connect to this NFS server through a vSwitch configured with a VMkernel port group. You need to connect a virtual machine to the management interface on the NFS server. What are the steps you need to take?
A. Create a virtual machine port group on the vSwitch. Connect a virtual machine to this port group. Give the VM an IP address on the storage network. Connect to and use the management interface on the NFS server. Disconnect the VM from this port group and remove the virtual machine port group.
B. Create a virtual machine port group on a new vSwitch. Connect a virtual machine to this port group. Give the VM an IP address on the new network. Connect to and use the management interface on the NFS server.
C. Connect the virtual machine to the VMkernel port group. Give the VM an IP address on the storage network. Connect to and use the management interface on the NFS server. Disconnect the VM from the VMkernel port group and remove the VMkernel port group.
D. Create a virtual machine port group on the vSwitch. Connect a virtual machine to this port group. Give the VM an IP address on the storage network. Connect to and use the management interface on the NFS server. Disconnect the VM from this port group.
A. The virtual machine will need a virtual machine port group to connect to this network, since only the ESXi host can use the Vmkernel port group. The best practice would be to remove this virtual machine port group once it is no longer in use, to limit potential access to this isolated network.
- Which of the following statements is true about EtherChannel and load-balancing policies? (Choose two.)
A. Route Based On IP Hash requires EtherChannel
B. Route Based On MAC Hash requires EtherChannel
C. Do not configure standby adapters/uplinks when using the Route Based on MAC Hash load-balancing policy.
D. Do not configure Standby adapters/uplinks when using the Route Based On IP Hash load-balancing policy.
A and D. Route Based On IP Hash requires EtherChannel, and standby adapters/uplinks must not be configured when using the Route Based On IP Hash load-balancing policy.
- Which of the following network adapters are required for virtual machines to utilize TSO? (Choose all that apply.)
A. e1000
B. vlance
C. VMXNET 2 (Enhanced)
D. VMXNET 3
C and D. To utilize TSO in a virtual machine, either the VMXNET 2 or VMXNET 3network adapter is required. The Vmware Tools are also required to load the drivers in the guest OS, but the Vmware Tools alone will not allow the VM to use TSO.
- What types of traffic can a vmknic be used for? (Choose all that apply.)
A. vMotion
B. Virtual Machine
C. iSCSI
D. Management
A, C and D. The Vmkernel can be used for host-based connections such as vMotion, iSCSI, and Management traffic.

B. An environment with ESXi hosts and vCenter Server with Standard licensing.
C. An environment with ESXi hosts and vCenter server with Enterprise licensing.
D. An environment with ESXi hosts and vCenter Server with Enterprise Plus licensing
D. Use of the dvSwitch requires both vCenter Server and Enterprise Plus licensing.

A. dvPort group
B. dvUplink
C. Uplink adapters
D. dvPort
B. A Distributed Virtual Uplink (dvUplink) is uesd to provide a level of abstraction between the physical network adapters (vmnics) on the ESXi host and the dvSwitch.
- You have a customer that requires the use of virtual machine traffic shaping on both inbound and outbound connections. Which of the following solutions provide this capability?
A. dvSwitch
B. vSwitch
C. Both of these
D. None of these
A. The dvSwitch provides bidirectional virtual machine traffic shaping capability.
- Which of the following are required to use jumbo frames in a virtual machine? (Choose all that apply.)
A. VMXNET2
B. Guest OS configuration changes
C. Ensuring that all devices on the network segment support jumbo frames
D. VMware Tools
A, B, C and D. Using jumbo frames in a virtual machine requires the VMXNET2 or VMXNET3 adapter, and the drivers provided for each by Vmware Tools. Guest OS configuration changes, and ensuring that all devices on the network segment support jumbo frames is also necessary.
- Which statement best describes static port binding?
A. A dvPort is created and assigned when a virtual machine is created.
B. A dvPort is created and assigned when a virtual machine is both powered on and has its NIC connected.
C. A dvPort is immediately assigned and reserved when the virtual machine is connected to the dvPort.
D. A dvPort is immediately assigned and reserved when the dvSwitch is created.
C. With static binding a dvPort is immediately assigned and reserved when the virtual machine is connected to the dvPort.
- Which of the following describes the use for virtual adapters in the dvSwitch? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Used to provide virtual machine connections
B. Used to provide vMotion traffic
C. Used to provide FT traffic
D. Used to provide NFS traffic
