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 dedicated Distributed Port Group configured on a separate VLAN ID specifically for vMotion traffic.
Network traffic isolation on a VDS is achieved by placing vMotion traffic onto a dedicated VLAN or Geneve-backed segment, associated with a dedicated Distributed Port Group with specific traffic shaping and security policies.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable Private VLANs (PVLANs) on the physical switch uplinks only without port groups.
Why it's wrong here
PVLANs require corresponding Distributed Port Group mappings within the VDS to function correctly.
- ✓
Create a dedicated Distributed Port Group configured on a separate VLAN ID specifically for vMotion traffic.
Why this is correct
Using a dedicated Distributed Port Group on a distinct VLAN isolates vMotion traffic at layer 2.
- ✗
Configure IPFIX netflow sampling on the default management port group.
Why it's wrong here
IPFIX is for monitoring and flow analysis, not traffic segregation.
- ✗
Enable Network I/O Control (NIOC) and set the vMotion share level to Low.
Why it's wrong here
NIOC manages bandwidth allocation among resource pools, but does not isolate traffic across different VLANs.
