   A VxRail administrator is planning the network for a new 4-node cluster. The environment requires consistent network configuration across all hosts, centralized management of port groups, and the ability to apply consistent network policies (such as load balancing and failover) to all hosts simultaneously. The administrator is deciding between using standard vSwitches or a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). Which approach best meets these requirements?

   • AUse a vDS only for the management network and standard switches for VM traffic.
   • BUse a standard vSwitch for management traffic and a vDS for all other traffic.
   • CCreate a standard vSwitch on each host and manually configure identical port groups and policies.
   • DCreate a vDS with distributed port groups and assign the same uplinks to all hosts.

   A VxRail cluster is being deployed in a large enterprise with multiple VLANs for different environments (e.g., production, development, and management). The network team requires that each VLAN be isolated and that the configuration be consistent across all hosts. The administrator is choosing between a vDS and standard vSwitches. Which factor most strongly favors the use of a vDS?

   • AThe vDS supports a higher number of VLANs than a standard vSwitch.
   • BThe vDS allows for centralized creation and management of port groups with VLAN segmentation across all hosts.
   • CThe vDS is required for VxRail deployments.
   • DThe vDS provides better performance than a standard vSwitch.

   Which best practice is recommended when using a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) in a VxRail environment?

   • ADisable monitoring on the vDS to reduce overhead
   • BSegment different traffic types using VLANs and separate dvPort groups
   • CAssign all physical NICs to a single uplink to maximize bandwidth
   • DUse a single dvPort group for all traffic types to simplify management
