VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 70

An administrator is concerned about the amount of time the IT team takes to create multiple VLANs in a very dynamic vSphere environment. The environment has these parameters:
✑ All virtual networking utilizes vSphere Standard Switches with uplinks to a Cisco Infrastructure
✑ Activities require 5-10 VLANs being created or removed every couple of days
✑ The IT team has three members
How can the administrator centralize the virtual networking configuration so the IT team utilizes time more efficiently?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) appliance.
• B. Create and use a vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS).
• C. Enable and configure Storage I/O Control (SIOC).
• D. Enable and configure vSphere Network I/O Control (NIOC).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) allows for centralized management of networking configurations, making it easier and faster to create or delete multiple VLANs. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the need for centralizing VLAN management; vRO automates workflows, while SIOC and NIOC focus on storage and network resource management respectively.
