VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 80

An administrator is asked to segregate virtual machine (VM) traffic by VLAN on a vSphere standard switch.

The following requirements must be met:
• VLAN ID on the switch port group must be 4095.
• VLAN tagging must be done at the VM level.

Which tagging mode is required?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Virtual Guest Tagging (VGT), as it allows VLAN tagging to be performed directly at the VM level, which meets the requirement of tagging at that level. Option A, External Switch Tagging (EST), is not suitable because it requires tagging at the switch level. Option B, None, does not provide any VLAN tagging and is therefore not applicable. Option D, Virtual Switch Tagging (VST), handles tagging at the virtual switch but does not meet the specific requirement of tagging at the VM level.
