VMware NSX-T Data Center (VCP-NV 2020) — Question 85

Which network tool could an administrator use on an ESXi 7 host to capture packets when troubleshooting connectivity issues?

Answer options

• A. Wireshark
• B. pktcap-uw
• C. tcpdump
• D. net-stats

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is pktcap-uw, as it is specifically designed for capturing packets on VMware ESXi hosts. Wireshark and tcpdump are powerful tools for packet analysis but are not native to ESXi environments, while net-stats is more about retrieving network statistics rather than capturing packets.
