   A company runs a vSphere environment with three ESXi hosts managed by vCenter Server. The administrator needs to configure a VM network that will be used by a few VMs and does not require advanced features. The administrator wants to minimize complexity and avoid dependency on vCenter Server for basic VM connectivity. What should the administrator do?

   • ACreate a distributed switch and attach all three hosts to it.
   • BUse a distributed port group on a standard switch.
   • CCreate a standard switch on each host with the same port group name and VLAN ID.
   • DConfigure a standard switch on one host and use port mirroring to share it with the other hosts.

   • BA distributed switch on a single host, with the other hosts using standard switches.
   • CA standard switch on each host with identical port group configurations.
   • DA distributed switch with all 20 hosts attached, using distributed port groups for VM traffic.
