   A company has a standard virtual switch with two uplinks connected to different physical switches. The administrator wants to ensure that if one physical switch fails, the virtual machines can still communicate. The administrator also wants to load balance traffic across both uplinks. Which NIC teaming policy should be configured?

   • ASet one uplink as active and the other as standby.
   • BRoute based on IP hash with both uplinks active.
   • CUse link aggregation (LACP) on the standard switch.
   • DRoute based on originating virtual port ID with both uplinks active.

   A vSphere administrator is planning to migrate from standard switches to a vSphere Distributed Switch. The management network (VMkernel adapters for ESXi management) is currently on a standard switch. What is a key consideration when migrating the management network to a vDS?

   • AThe management network can be migrated to a vDS, but the ESXi host must retain at least one standard switch for management traffic.
   • BThe management network must be migrated to a vDS to enable vMotion.
   • CThe management network must remain on a standard switch because vDS does not support VMkernel adapters.
   • DThe management network cannot be migrated to a vDS without reconfiguring the physical NICs.

   A company is migrating its virtual workloads from multiple standalone ESXi hosts to a vSphere cluster. The network team requires consistent VLAN and security policies across all hosts, and they want to reduce the administrative overhead of managing per-host virtual switches. What should an administrator do to meet these requirements?

   • ACreate a vSphere Distributed Switch, add all ESXi hosts, and create distributed port groups for the VLANs.
   • BEnable NIOC on each host's standard switch to enforce consistent bandwidth allocation.
   • CUse a port mirroring session on a standard switch to replicate VLAN settings across hosts.
   • DConfigure a standard virtual switch on each host with identical VLAN and security settings.
