2V0-21.23 Question 65
Select 2A VMware administrator is configuring a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for a production environment. The environment requires strict control over traffic shaping and the ability to prioritize certain types of traffic. Which networking policies can the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
- A
Traffic Shaping Policy
- B
NIC Teaming and Failover Policy
- C
Security Policy
- D
QoS Tagging Policy
- E
Load Balancing Policy
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
To meet the requirements of controlling traffic flow and prioritizing specific traffic types, the administrator can use the Traffic Shaping Policy to control bandwidth and the QoS Tagging Policy to prioritize traffic based on QoS tags. NIC Teaming, Security, and Load Balancing Policies, while important, do not address the stated requirements.
- A. Correct.
Traffic Shaping Policy allows administrators to control the flow of traffic by setting parameters such as average bandwidth, peak bandwidth, and burst size, making it suitable for managing traffic requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
NIC Teaming and Failover Policy is used to manage failover and load balancing configurations for physical NICs but does not directly address traffic prioritization or shaping.
- C. Incorrect.
Security Policy is focused on features like promiscuous mode, forged transmits, and MAC address changes, which are unrelated to traffic shaping and prioritization.
- D. Correct.
QoS Tagging Policy allows the administrator to prioritize traffic based on Quality of Service (QoS) tags, making it essential for scenarios requiring traffic prioritization.
- E. Incorrect.
Load Balancing Policy determines how network traffic is distributed across physical NICs in a team but is not directly related to traffic shaping or prioritization.
