VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 54

Which load balancing policy, previously limited to vSphere Distributed Switches, is now available on vSphere Standard Switches with vSphere 6.x?

Answer options

• A. Route based on physical NIC workload
• B. Route based on IP Hash
• C. Route based on the originating virtual port
• D. Route based on Source MAC Hash

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, 'Route based on physical NIC workload', is significant because it enhances resource distribution across NICs, improving performance. The other options, while valid load balancing methods, remain limited to specific configurations or environments and do not apply to vSphere Standard Switches in the same way.
