VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 15

A VM is experiencing inconsistent network connectivity between two ESXi hosts connecting to the same physical switches. The effect of the inconsistency is this:
✑ vMotion from host 1 to host 2, network connection is down
✑ vMotion from host 2 to host 1, network connection is up
✑ vMotion from host 1 to host 2, network connection is up
The vSphere administrator wants to ensure the physical switches connecting to the ESXi are configured correctly.
How can this be accomplished?

Answer options

• A. Use Network Health Check to verify the VLAN trunks on VSS
• B. Use vSphere Health Check to verify on MTU settings on VDS
• C. Use Network Health Check to verify the VLAN trunks on VDS
• D. Use Network Health Check to verify MTU settings on VSS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because verifying MTU settings on VSS ensures that the network packets are not being fragmented, which can lead to connectivity issues during vMotion. Options A and C focus on VLAN trunks, which, while important, do not address the specific MTU-related concerns. Option B incorrectly targets VDS instead of VSS for MTU settings, making it irrelevant to the problem at hand.
