VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 95

A vSphere administrator has migrated a virtual machine between two ESXi hosts using vSphere vMotion and notices that the VM can no longer be pinged.
What caused this situation?

Answer options

• A. There is an MTU mismatch.
• B. The virtual machine has RDMs attached.
• C. The destination portgroup has an incorrect VLAN tag.
• D. A different datastore is being used after the migration.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the destination portgroup has an incorrect VLAN tag, the virtual machine will not be able to communicate on the network, leading to a failure in ping responses. Options A, B, and D do not directly affect network connectivity in the same way; an MTU mismatch may cause performance issues, RDMs do not inherently affect network settings, and changing datastores does not impact network reachability.
