Ensure that the physical uplinks are all connected to a single physical switch 1, 2
Q:
Your customer has a datacenter where each ESXi host can have only a limited number of physical uplinks. Under
normal operation, each virtual network will have two uplinks, but there is not enough capacity to dedicate standby NICs
to handle failures. You want to ensure that each virtual network will always use its own dedicated uplinks but that
during NIC, link or physical switch failures the uplinks from other virtual networks can be used. Which specific Failover
Policies allow you to manage which uplinks are used during and after failures? Choose two.

A:
Network Failure Detection - today
Notify Switches
Failover Order today 2
Failback today 2

feature of Network I/O Control (NIOC) would you configure to ensure this? Choose one.
A:
Isolation
Limits
Reservations
Shares
Q:
You suspect that poor network performance in a vSphere environment that you support is being caused by an incorrect
switch configuration. You have implemented a centralized network configuration using Distributed vSwitches (version
5.5) throughout. What feature of these dvSwitches could you use to ascertain the cause of the problem? Choose one.
A:
Network Teaming Analysis
Network Monitoring
dvSwitches do not have any features that allow this.
Network Health Check
Q:
You are tasked with configuring the network connections (virtual switches, physical uplinks and port groups) for
multiple ESXi hosts. You could manually configure each host which would be time-consuming and could potentially
introduce errors. You elect to configure one host correctly and then extract these settings and apply them to the new
hosts. Which vSphere 5.5 feature should you use to do this? Choose one.

Q:
You have just carried out a migration of a physical server to a virtual machine. The server hosts an application which
used the MAC address of the original physical server network adapter as part of the application licensing parameters.
The application will not start after the migration reporting an error with its license key. What should you advise your
customer to do to resolve this?: Choose one.
A:
Obtain a new license key from the Application supplier (or agent) using the MAC address of the virtual NIC in the new application
server VM
Obtain a new license key from the Application supplier (or agent) using the MAC address of any physical NIC used for VM traffic
in the ESXi host
Remove the original network adapter from the old physical server and install it in your ESXi Host as an uplink NIC for vSwitch
used by the VM
Upgrade to Enterprise Licenses for the ESXi hosts in order to enable MAC address spoofing on the vSwitch used by the
application VM
Q:

All hosts must be at ESXi v5.0 or later today1
Q:
You have been monitoring network traffic statistics from a number of virtual machines in a customers environment.
You find that for some VMs, the network statistics are reset if the VM is vMotion-migrated to a different host, but this
does not happen to all VMs. Why are these statistics reset for some VMs and not for others? Choose two.
A:
Since all information pertaining to distributed ports is stored by vCenter in the vCenter database, the distributed virtual port
statistics for VMs connected to a distributed vSwitch are retained when a VM is migrated today 2
Since all information pertaining to standard ports is stored by vCenter in the vCenter DB, the virtual port statistics for VMs
connected to a standard vSwitch are retained when a VM is migrated - today
Since all information pertaining to standard ports is stored by the ESXi host, the virtual port statistics for VMs connected to a
standard vSwitch are reset when a VM is migrated today 2
Since all information pertaining to distributed ports is stored by the ESXi host, the virtual port statistics for VMs connected to a
distributed vSwitch are reset when a VM is migrated - today
Q:
You are designing a virtual network environment that will make use of PVLANS to create to create a DMZ. Your PVLAN
design has a Primary PVLAN 100 that is promiscuous, a secondary promiscuous PVLAN 101, secondary isolated

PVLANs 105 & 106 and secondary community PVLANs 125 &126. You have an application that must be deployed in the
DMZ that requires two servers that must be able to communicate with each other but must be isolated from all other
systems in the DMZ. Which PVLANs can be used for these VMs? Choose two.

101
105
106
125
126
Q:
You are working on a design where the customer has specified that network uplink failures that are caused by physical
switch configuration errors must be detected by vSphere and trigger a virtual switch uplink failover. Which network
policy must you configure to support this? Choose one.
A:
Beacon Probing
Link Status
Notify Switches
Failover Order
Q:
You want to create 10 Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) on a vSphere Distributed Switch. However, you find that you are
not able to successfully complete the configuration. Which one of the following is the most likely cause? Choose one.
A:
You have already deployed 32 LAGs which exceeds the maximum allowed in vSphere 5.5
You are trying to create the LAGs on a vSphere 5.1 host
You are trying to create the LAGS on a vSphere 5.5 host
You have configured the LAGs using Single Sign-On which is not permitted
Q:
You have been tasked with updating the virtual networking design for a growing virtual infrastructure. You are restricted
to a fixed set of IP addresses and, while you are successfully using subnets and VLANs to segregate traffic today, these
will not be sufficient to handle the expected growth. Which two VMware technologies should you consider in order to
help deal with the expected growth? Choose two.
A:
PVLAN
NIOC
VXLAN
LACP
Q:
A customer is experiencing poor network performance and you have identified that network uplink bandwidth is
insufficient for the demand on their ESXi hosts. There are unused physical network adapters in each of your hosts and
the physical switches support NIC teaming. You tell the customer that the unused adapters on each host should be
configured as additional uplinks for the production standard vSwitch. Which of the following teaming policies are valid
choices for the uplink NIC teaming policy for the vSwitch uplinks? Choose three.
A:
Route based on Originating Port ID

Load-based teaming
Route based on IP Hash
Route based on Source MAC Hash
Route based on PVLAN ID
Q:
Your networking team has designed a script to automate the deployment of virtual switches for Datacenter hosts. The
interactive script requires input indicating which uplinks to use, the port group type, the port group name, and the
number of ports required. You need to deploy a small virtual switch so you run the Create New vSwitch Script. You
supply all the requested information and you enter the number 48 as the number of virtual ports required. When you
open the GUI interface to check the successful deployment of this switch you discover that the switch only appears to
have 40 available ports. Why is this? Choose one.
A:
The maximum number of ports that can be configured via script is 40.
The vSphere client interface always displays the default number of ports when a vSwitch is initialized.
It is not possible to create a vSwitch with a non-standard number of ports; this number must be changed after the switch has
been created.
Eight ports are always reserved for management purposes by the ESXi Hypervisor
