VCP-DCV Configure and Manage vSphere Networking Practice Question

Exhibit

esxcli network vswitch standard list
VSwitchName: vSwitch0
   Portgroup Name: Management Network
      VLAN ID: 0
      Active uplinks: vmnic0
      Standby uplinks: vmnic1
   Portgroup Name: VM Network
      VLAN ID: 100
      Active uplinks: vmnic0
      Standby uplinks: vmnic1
VSwitchName: vSwitch1
   Portgroup Name: Storage Network
      VLAN ID: 200
      Active uplinks: vmnic2
      Standby uplinks: vmnic3

Refer to the exhibit. A virtual machine on the VM Network is experiencing intermittent connectivity. The administrator notices that vmnic0 is saturated. Which action would improve performance without causing a single point of failure?

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

Configure load-based teaming on vSwitch0 for the VM Network portgroup.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Change the active uplinks for VM Network to vmnic1 only.

    Why it's wrong here

    This would move the problem to vmnic1 and still leave a single point of failure.

  • Increase the MTU on vSwitch0 to 9000.

    Why it's wrong here

    Jumbo frames would not resolve uplink saturation.

  • Configure load-based teaming on vSwitch0 for the VM Network portgroup.

    Why this is correct

    Load-based teaming would distribute traffic across both uplinks, reducing saturation.

  • Move the VM Network to vSwitch1.

    Why it's wrong here

    vSwitch1 is dedicated to storage; moving the VM Network would mix traffic.
