VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 55

A vSphere Administrator uses vMotion to migrate a virtual machine between two ESXi hosts and notices that they can no longer ping the VM.
What is the cause?

Answer options

• A. The destination host has an incorrect VLAN tag on the virtual machine port group for the VM
• B. The destination host has two port groups with the same VLAN tag
• C. The virtual machine has RDMs attached
• D. There’s an MTU mismatch

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because having two port groups with the same VLAN tag can lead to network conflicts, preventing proper communication with the VM. Option A is incorrect as an incorrect VLAN tag would affect connectivity, but not necessarily due to duplication. Options C and D are also incorrect as RDMs and MTU mismatches do not directly cause the inability to ping in this context.
