VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals — Question 28

Which statement about standard switches is true?

Answer options

• A. Performs Port Mirroring simultaneously for virtual machines in all port groups
• B. Performs Port Mirroring for virtual machines in the same port group.
• C. Bridges traffic between virtual machines in other port groups.
• D. Bridges traffic internally between virtual machines in the same port group.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because standard switches facilitate internal communication between virtual machines that reside in the same port group. Options A and B incorrectly describe the capabilities of port mirroring, and option C misrepresents the function of standard switches in bridging traffic between different port groups.
