Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Create a VMkernel adapter on VLAN 100 and ping a gateway.

To test VLAN 100, a VMkernel adapter with that VLAN should be created and used to ping a gateway. Option B is for pruning, not testing. Option C would test VM traffic, but VMkernel adapter is more direct for verification. Option D is not necessary.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Create a VMkernel adapter on VLAN 100 and ping a gateway.
Why this is correct
A VMkernel adapter provides a layer 3 test on that VLAN.
✗
Enable VLAN pruning on the physical switch.
Why it's wrong here
VLAN pruning is for switch efficiency, not for testing connectivity.
✗
Configure a port group for VLAN 100 and connect a VM.
Why it's wrong here
This would test VM connectivity but requires additional steps.
✗
Restart the management agents.
Why it's wrong here
Restarting agents does not test VLAN connectivity.
