VMware Cloud Foundation 3.x Administrator — Question 8

A vSphere administrator uses vMotion to migrate a virtual machine between two ESXi hosts and notices that they can no longer ping the VM.
What is the cause?

Answer options

• A. The destination host has an incorrect VLAN tag on the virtual machine port group for the VM.
• B. The destination host has two port groups with the same VLAN tag.
• C. There is an MTU mismatch.
• D. The virtual machine has RDMs attached.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because having two port groups with the same VLAN tag can cause network conflicts, preventing the VM from being reachable. Option A is incorrect as an incorrect VLAN tag would typically not allow any communication, not just ping. Option C is not the cause unless there are specific MTU requirements not met, and option D is irrelevant to ping issues related to network connectivity.
