An administrator is asked to configure a security policy at the port group level of a standard switch.
The following requirements must be met:
The security policy must apply to all virtual machines on portgroup-1.
All traffic must be forwarded, regardless of the destination.
Which security policy must the administrator configure?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Promiscuous mode set to accept, as it allows all virtual machines to receive all traffic, fulfilling the requirement of forwarding all traffic. Options A and C restrict traffic by rejecting forged transmits and promiscuous mode, respectively, while option B only addresses MAC address changes and does not affect traffic forwarding.
