VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator — Question 16

An administrator needs to configure Network IO Control (NIOC) on a Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) to prioritize storage traffic over other types of traffic.
Which two steps should be followed? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Disable all other traffic types to ensure storage traffic gets full bandwidth.
• B. Navigate to the VDS settings in the vSphere Client and enable NIOC.
• C. Migrate all VM traffic to a standard switch.
• D. Create a new port group specifically for storage traffic.
• E. Assign shares and limits to the new port group to prioritize the storage traffic.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Enabling NIOC in the VDS settings is crucial for managing bandwidth allocation and prioritization, which is addressed in option B. Additionally, assigning shares and limits to the designated port group for storage traffic, as described in option E, ensures that this traffic is prioritized over others. The other options either do not contribute to NIOC configuration or are unnecessary steps.
