VMware vSphere 6 Beta — Question 65

What vSphere Distributed Switch security policy allows virtual machines to send frames with a MAC Address that is different from the one specified in the vmx file?

Answer options

• A. MAC Address Changes
• B. Failover detection
• C. Forged Transmits
• D. Promiscuous Mode

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option, Forged Transmits, allows virtual machines to send packets with a MAC address that is not their own, which is necessary for certain applications. The other options do not provide this capability: MAC Address Changes only allow changes to the MAC address, Failover detection relates to network redundancy, and Promiscuous Mode allows all traffic to be seen by the VM, but does not specifically address MAC address discrepancies.
