VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 71

A customer suspects someone or something is changing the MAC address of a virtual machine.
Which security policy should the customer modify to obtain more information?

Answer options

• A. Discovery Protocol
• B. Promiscuous Mode
• C. Forged Transmits
• D. MAC Address Change

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Enabling Promiscuous Mode allows the virtual machine to receive all traffic on the network, which can help identify if the MAC address is being changed. The other options, while related to network security, do not provide the necessary visibility into MAC address changes specifically.
