VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 48

An administrator decides to implement vSphere networking using the VDS.
Which binding option should the administrator use to manage the VMs if vCenter becomes unavailable?

Answer options

• A. static
• B. port
• C. ephemeral
• D. dynamic

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The ephemeral binding option allows VMs to retain their network configurations even if vCenter goes down, enabling continuous VM operation. In contrast, static and dynamic bindings require vCenter for managing network settings, while port binding is less flexible in this scenario.
