Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Network I/O Control (NIOC) shares and reservation limits.
Why it's wrong here
NIOC controls bandwidth allocation, not Layer 2 traffic isolation.
- ✗
ESXi firewall rule adjustments via the Host Client.
Why it's wrong here
The ESXi firewall controls access to management daemons on the host, not VM-to-VM traffic.
- ✗
Cross-vCenter vMotion encrypted transport tunnels.
Why it's wrong here
Cross-vCenter vMotion encrypts migration streams, but does not isolate day-to-day tenant networks.
- ✓
Private VLANs (PVLANs) configured with isolated and community secondary VLAN IDs.
Why this is correct
Correct. PVLANs allow ports on the same primary VLAN to be isolated from each other at Layer 2.
