VMware NSX 4.x Professional (2023) — Question 66

Which table on an ESXi host is used to determine the location of a particular workload for a frame-forwarding decision?

Answer options

• A. TEP Table
• B. ARP Table
• C. Routing Table
• D. MAC Table

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the MAC Table, as it holds the MAC addresses of the workloads and their corresponding ports, which is essential for frame-forwarding decisions. The TEP Table (A) is related to overlay networking, the ARP Table (B) resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses, and the Routing Table (C) is for determining paths for IP packets, not specific workload locations.
