VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 92

What is the default load balancing policy for a newly created VMkernel port on a vSphere Distributed Switch?

Answer options

• A. Route based on originating virtual port ID
• B. Route based on IP Hash
• C. Route based on source mac address
• D. Route based on physical NIC load

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The default load balancing policy for a newly created VMkernel port on a vSphere Distributed Switch is 'Route based on originating virtual port ID.' This method ensures that traffic is distributed based on the virtual port from which it originates. The other options, while valid load balancing methods, do not represent the default configuration for new VMkernel ports.
