VMware Cloud Foundation 3.x Administrator — Question 59

A vSphere administrator has been tasked with enabling upstream failure detection for networking in an environment that does not support link state tracking.
Which statement is a VMware-recommended option?

Answer options

• A. Satisfy prerequisites and enable Beacon probing.
• B. Enable Explicit failover order and ensure Failback is selected.
• C. Enable Explicit failover order and ensure Notify Switches is selected.
• D. Configure a port-channel with LACP.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Beacon probing is specifically designed to detect upstream failures in environments without link state tracking. Options B and C are related to failover configurations but do not specifically address upstream failure detection, while D involves port-channel configuration, which does not directly pertain to the issue at hand.
