   A VxRail administrator is configuring a vSphere Distributed Switch for a cluster that will run a mix of production and development VMs. The administrator wants to ensure that production VMs get higher network priority than development VMs. Which feature of the vDS should be used?

   • ANetwork I/O Control (NIOC) with traffic shares configured per port group.
   • BVLAN tagging to separate production and development traffic.
   • CTeaming policy set to 'Route based on IP hash'.
   • DPort group security settings to block development traffic.

   When VxRail nodes are integrated with a vSphere Distributed Switch, what is the primary benefit of using a vDS across the cluster?

   • AIt allows each node to have its own independent network configuration
   • BIt enables consistent network configuration across all VxRail nodes
   • CIt automatically configures VLANs without any administrator input
   • DIt eliminates the need for physical network switches

   A VxRail administrator is creating a vSphere Distributed Switch and needs to configure the management network for the ESXi hosts. The management network will use a dedicated VLAN. Which component of the vDS should be used to configure the management network?

   • AThe ESXi host's VMkernel adapter settings.
   • BThe vDS uplink configuration.
   • CA distributed port group with the management VLAN ID.
   • DThe distributed switch's network resource pool.

   A VxRail administrator is configuring a vSphere Distributed Switch for a cluster that will host production VMs and vSAN. The administrator wants to ensure that vSAN traffic is isolated from VM traffic and that the vSAN network is not affected by broadcast storms from the VM network. Which configuration best achieves this?

   • AUse a single distributed port group for all traffic and rely on the physical switch to separate broadcast domains.
   • BCreate separate distributed port groups for vSAN and VM traffic, each with its own VLAN ID.
   • CAssign vSAN traffic to a standard vSwitch and VM traffic to the vDS.
   • DCreate a single distributed port group and enable promiscuous mode to allow all traffic to pass.

   A VxRail administrator is configuring a vSphere Distributed Switch for a cluster that will use vSAN. The administrator wants to ensure that vSAN traffic is not impacted by VM traffic during peak usage. Which configuration should be applied?

   • AAssign vSAN to a standard vSwitch and VM traffic to the vDS.
   • BCreate a separate distributed port group for vSAN and configure NIOC to reserve bandwidth for vSAN.
   • CConfigure the vSAN port group with a teaming policy of 'Route based on IP hash'.
   • DUse the same distributed port group for vSAN and VM traffic but set a high MTU.
