VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 43

ESXi provides VLAN support by assigning a VLAN ID to which component?

Answer options

• A. Virtual standard switch
• B. Physical network interface card (NIC)
• C. Virtual distributed switch
• D. Port group

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Port group, as it is the component that allows for VLAN tagging in ESXi environments. The other options, while related to networking, do not directly support VLAN ID assignment; the Virtual standard switch and Virtual distributed switch manage traffic, and the Physical NIC connects to the network but does not handle VLAN IDs directly.
