VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 12

An ESXi host with default settings is currently in normal lockdown mode.
Which action is granted to users with Administrator privileges on the host without adding them to the Exception User list?

Answer options

• A. Access the host using the vCenter Server
• B. Access the host using an SSH session
• C. Access the host using the Host Client
• D. Access the host using the ESXi Shell

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Users with Administrator privileges can access the host through the vCenter Server even when it is in normal lockdown mode. In contrast, accessing the host via SSH, Host Client, or ESXi Shell is restricted under normal lockdown mode unless explicitly allowed by being added to the Exception User list.
