VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 39

A VMkernel port is labelled PROD01 and uses the default TCP/IP stack. Currently, this VMkernel port is configured for supporting live virtual machine (VM) migrations.
Which configuration change should the administrator make to isolate live VM migration traffic from other network traffic?

Answer options

• A. Remove PROD01 and create a new VMkernel port and set the TCP/IP stack to vSphere vMotion.
• B. Remove PROD01 and create a new VMkernel port with the TCP/IP stack set to provisioning.
• C. Create a new VMkernel port and set the TCP/IP stack to provisioning.
• D. Modify PROD01 by changing the TCP/IP stack to vSphere vMotion.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a new VMkernel port specifically set to the vSphere vMotion TCP/IP stack is necessary to ensure that live VM migration traffic is isolated. The other options either do not set the correct TCP/IP stack for live migrations or simply modify the existing port without creating a new one dedicated to vMotion traffic.
