VCF Operations shows a high 'dropped TX packets' metric on a VM's virtual NIC, but the ESXi host's physical NIC shows no drops. What does this indicate?

The VM's operating system is dropping packets.

The virtual switch is dropping packets before they reach the physical NIC.

The VM's virtual NIC is misconfigured.

The physical network is experiencing congestion.

A VCF administrator is using VCF Operations to troubleshoot a network issue reported by users. Which symptom would most likely indicate a problem with the physical network infrastructure rather than the virtual network?

An NSX-T segment has a status of 'Down'

High latency on a distributed virtual switch uplink

A VM's virtual NIC is disconnected

A firewall rule is blocking traffic

A VCF administrator is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity between VMs on different logical segments. VCF Operations shows no alerts, but the 'dropped packets' metric on the NSX-T logical router is elevated. The physical network team reports no issues. What is the most likely cause?

The logical segments are configured with different MTU sizes.

The physical network is dropping packets.

The logical router is experiencing CPU or memory pressure.

The logical router's routing table is misconfigured.
