QUESTION 291An administrator has purchased a new 10GB Converged Network Adapter (CNA) for installation in a system that is running ESXi 5.x. The administrator hasdownloaded the latest driver from the hardware vendor and wants to include the driver in an image. The image profile acceptance level is set to VMwareSupported.The acceptance level of the driver is VMwareSupported.

Which two statements are true about the inclusion of this driver in the image? (Choose two.)

A. Support calls for the driver will be directed to the partner.B. The image can be built, but the driver will not be included in the image.C. The image can be built and the driver will be included.D. Support calls for the driver will be handled by VMware.


Explanation/Reference:The acceptance level of all VIBs on a host must be at least as high as the host acceptance level. For example, if the host acceptance level is VMware Accepted,you can install VIBs with acceptance levels of VMware Certified and VMware Accepted, but you cannot install VIBs with acceptance levels of Partner Supported orCommunity Supported. To install a VIB with a less restrictive acceptance level than that of the host, you can change the acceptance level of the host by using the

vSphere Client or by running esxcli software acceptance commands. Setting host acceptance levels is a best practice that allows you to specify which VIBs can be installed on a host and used with an image profile, and the level ofsupport you can expect for a VIB. For example, a Community Supported VIB might not be recommended for an ESXi server in a production environment.

A. vMotion is not available between the two hostsB. If VM21 is migrated to ESXi02 it will not be available on the networkC. The virtual machine can be vMotion migrated to the target host.D. Broadcasts from the Production port group will not reach the Engineering port group.


Explanation/Reference:If VM21 is migrated to ESXi 02, then according to the information provided, it will not be available on the network. Likewise, broadcasts from production port groupwill not reach engineering port group.

QUESTION 341Which network settings are only available with vSphere Distributed Switches?

A. Jumbo FramesB. PVLANC. Load BalancingD. Promiscuous Mode



QUESTION 342When would an administrator configure the Explicit Failover option for a portgroup created on a virtual switch with multiple uplinks?

A. To manually configure load balancing for the portgroupB. To share uplinks between vSwitchesC. When configuring iSCSI Software Initiator multipathingD. If the physical switch does not support etherchannel or 802.3ad


Explanation/Reference:http://www.epubbud.com/read.php?g=8MVD69ZN&tocp=15 (see the paragraph below figure 5.2)

QUESTION 343Which two features secure the VMkernel? (Choose two.)

A. Memory EncryptionB. Hardware assist virtualization

C. Kernel module integrityD. Trusted Platform Module (TPM)


Explanation/Reference:http://searchvmware.techtarget.com/tip/VMware-ESXi-security-Protecting-VMs-VMkernel-and-the-network (see ‘Guard the VMkernel’)

QUESTION 344A vSphere Standard Switch has been configured for IP-based load balancing using two uplinks. A new uplink is added to the vSwitch.

What is the status of the uplink by default?

A. The uplink is placed in standby mode until it is added to the active NIC team.B. The uplink is marked as active but does not participate in the active NIC team until assigned to a port group.C. The uplink is marked as active, but cannot be used by the active NIC team until it is added to the existing 802.3ad group on the physical switch.D. The uplink is marked as unused until it is added to the active NIC team.


Explanation/Reference:The new uplink will be marked as active but it cannot use active NIC team until it is added to an existing 802.3ad group on the physical switch. Reference: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01990371/c01990371.pdf (page 26 onwards)

QUESTION 345Which two statements are true regarding vSphere virtual switch uplinks? (Choose two.)

A. vSphere virtual switches do not need to be configured with an uplink.B. Multiple vSphere virtual switches can be configured to use the same uplink.C. vSphere virtual switches must be configured with at least one uplink.D. Multiple vSphere virtual switches cannot be configured to use the same uplink.


Explanation/Reference:VMware Virtual Networking Concepts, page 6. Some virtual switches should not connect to a physical network and thus have no uplink port. If you attempt toassign an uplink port, (previously assigned to a switch), to a second switch, the uplink will be disconnected from the first switch before being connected to thesecond.

QUESTION 346A virtual machine, VM21, will be migrated between two ESXi 5.x hosts, labeled ESXi01 and ESXi02. Each host has two vSphere Standard Switches (vSS),configured as follows: 1. vSwitch0 has a portgroup labeled Management and a portgroup labeled vMotion.2. The Management portgroup contains a vmkernel port tagged for management traffic.3. The vMotion portgroup contains a vmkernel port tagged for vMotion traffic.4. vSwitch0 on ESXi01 has a single uplink attached to the 10.1.20.0/24 network.5. vSwitch0 on ESXi02 has a single uplink attached to the 10.1.20.0/24 network.6. Each host has a vSwitch1 with a Production portgroup used by virtual machine traffic.7. Each vSwitch1 has an uplink attached to the 10.1.40.0/24 network.

What is true about migrating VM21 to the new host?

A. vMotion would be supported in this configuration.B. Storage vMotion would not be supported in this configuration.C. vMotion would not be supported in this configuration.D. Storage vMotion would be supported if the storage device supports VAAI.


Explanation/Reference:As per the configuration shown in the question, vmotion will be supported without any problem.


An administrator has been tasked with adding a newly installed uplink to vSwitch1. Based on the exhibit, what is a true statement about this environment?

A. The server does not have available vSwitches to be assigned to this uplink.B. The available uplinks are not compatible with a standard vSwitch.C. The host needs a driver installed for the newly installed uplink.

D. The current uplinks cannot be attached because they are in use by other port groups.


Explanation/Reference:as you can see that the Next button is greyed out. This means the host needs driver installed on the newly installed uplink. Once the driver in installed, the Nextbutton will become active.

QUESTION 348Which settings are required for virtual machine guest tagging for VLAN 100 in a vSphere 5.x environment?

A. Port Group configured for VLAN 100, physical switch configured as a VLAN trunkB. Port Group configured for VLAN 4095, physical switch configured as a VLAN trunkC. Port Group configured for VLAN 100, physical switch configured for VLAN 100D. Port Group configured for VLAN 4095, physical switch configured for VLAN 100


Explanation/Reference:A VLAN ID, which restricts port group traffic to a logical Ethernet segment within the physical network, is optional. For a port group to reach port groups located onother VLANs, the VLAN ID must be set to 4095. If you use VLAN IDs, you must change the port group labels and VLAN IDs together so that the labels properlyrepresent connectivity.

If you enter 0 or leave the option blank, the port group can see only untagged (non-VLAN) traffic. If you enter 4095, the port group can see traffic on any VLANwhile leaving the VLAN tags intact.

QUESTION 349When you are configuring the NIC teaming policy for a vSwitch, what happens when the Failback option is set to Yes?

A. A failed uplink will be left inactive upon recovery until another uplink fails.B. The vswitch is notified when a failover event occurs.C. The physical switches are notified when a failback event occurs.D. A failed uplink is returned to active duty immediately upon recovery.

Correct Answer: D


Explanation/Reference:��Select Yes or No to disable or enable failback.This option determines how a physical adapter is returned to active duty after recovering from a failure. If failback is set to Yes (default), the adapter is returned toactive duty immediately upon recovery, displacing the standby adapter that took over its slot, if any. If failback is set to No, a failed adapter is left inactive even afterrecovery until another currently active adapter fails, requiring its replacement.

QUESTION 350Which three features are only available in the vSphere Client when using a vSphere Distributed Switch? (Choose three.)
