VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 186
Select 4You are tasked with configuring a Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) in VMware Cloud Foundation to ensure proper network segmentation and traffic management. During the configuration, you need to enable features that support enhanced network performance and monitoring. Which features should you enable on the VDS?
- A
Network I/O Control (NIOC)
- B
Port Mirroring
- C
Health Check
- D
Private VLANs (PVLANs)
- E
NSX-T Integration
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Explanation
Configuring a Virtual Distributed Switch involves enabling features that enhance network performance, monitoring, and segmentation. Network I/O Control (NIOC), Port Mirroring, Health Check, and Private VLANs (PVLANs) are all features of the VDS that can be utilized for these purposes. NSX-T Integration, while valuable, is not a feature of the VDS itself and requires separate configuration.
- A. Correct.
Network I/O Control (NIOC) ensures fair resource allocation and prioritization of network traffic, which is essential for enhanced network performance.
- B. Correct.
Port Mirroring allows network traffic monitoring by replicating traffic to a designated port, aiding in performance diagnostics and monitoring.
- C. Correct.
Health Check validates the configuration of VLANs, MTU, and teaming policies, ensuring proper network connectivity and performance.
- D. Correct.
Private VLANs (PVLANs) enable network segmentation by isolating traffic between virtual machines, enhancing security and traffic control.
- E. Incorrect.
NSX-T Integration is not directly a feature of the VDS itself. While NSX-T can be integrated with VDS, it is a separate network virtualization platform and not a specific VDS feature.
