Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit.
```
Net-DVS: Up
Error: None
DVS Name: dvs0
DVS Port: 1
Uplink: no
Host: esxi01.example.com
MAC Addr: 00:50:56:60:00:0a
Healthcheck:
VLAN ID: 100
MTU: 1500
VLAN Status: OK
MTU Status: OK
Teaming:
Policy: Route based on originating virtual port
Active Uplinks: vmnic0, vmnic1
Standby Uplinks: none
Load Balancing: Disabled
```Based on the Healthcheck output for a distributed port (DVS Port 1) on dvs0, what can be concluded?
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
✓
The physical switch is correctly configured for VLAN 100 and MTU 1500 on the uplinks connected to this host.
The Healthcheck output shows 'VLAN 100' and 'MTU 1500' with status 'OK', indicating that the physical switch configuration matches the DVS port settings for VLAN and MTU. Option A is incorrect because Healthcheck doesn't report speed/duplex of uplinks. Option C is incorrect because the teaming policy shown is 'Route based on originating virtual port', not IP hash. Option D is incorrect because Healthcheck checks configuration consistency, not packet loss.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The uplinks vmnic0 and vmnic1 are operating at 10 Gbps.
Why it's wrong here
Healthcheck does not report link speed; that would be shown in esxcli network nic list.
- ✓
The physical switch is correctly configured for VLAN 100 and MTU 1500 on the uplinks connected to this host.
Why this is correct
The VLAN Status and MTU Status are both OK, indicating end-to-end connectivity matches.
- ✗
The load balancing policy is set to 'Route based on IP hash'.
Why it's wrong here
The exhibit clearly shows 'Route based on originating virtual port'.
- ✗
The port is experiencing high packet loss due to misconfiguration.
Why it's wrong here
Healthcheck shows no errors; packet loss would likely show a MTU or VLAN mismatch.
