HPE Simplivity Solutions — Question 1

Your customer runs VMware ESXi on an HPE Synergy platform. The ESXi systems must have access to 50 VLANs initially. However, this is a dynamic environment, and more VLANs will be added in the future.
They want to add more networks for virtual machines, but they do not want to modify the HPE Virtual Connect configuration.
Which type of the network should the customer define?

Answer options

• A. Untagged
• B. Internal
• C. Tunnel
• D. Tagged

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice is 'Tagged' because it allows multiple VLANs to be assigned to a single virtual port by identifying traffic with tags, which is essential for the dynamic environment described. In contrast, 'Untagged' is limited to a single VLAN, 'Internal' is used for communication between VMs on the same host, and 'Tunnel' typically refers to encapsulating traffic rather than directly connecting to multiple VLANs.
