VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 94

What happens within the network when a customer uses a vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) and vCenter is offline?

Answer options

• A. An isolation event occurs.
• B. Network is lost.
• C. Packets continue to be forwarded.
• D. Network runs with intermittent failures.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

When vCenter is offline, the vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) continues to operate independently, allowing packets to be forwarded without interruption. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they imply a loss of connectivity or functionality that does not occur as long as the VDS remains operational.
