• Question 101:

  An administrator is migrating 135 virtual machines from a vSphere Standard Switch to a vSphere Distributed switch. The migration reports an error and only some of the virtual machines are transferred. What is causing the error to occur?

  A. The vSphere Distributed Switch was created with a single, default port group.

  B. The switch has become disconnected from an ESXi host.

  C. The port group on the vSphere Distributed Switch was not configured with an Elastic port binding.

  D. The virtual machine that failed to transfer did not have a network adapter.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 102:

  A network auditing team has observed activity from a virtual machine that may be an organization policy

  security breach.

  The vSphere administrator needs to stop network traffic from the virtual machine.

  Which step should the administrator take?

  A. Enable port blocking on the standard switch to which the virtual machine is connected

  B. Enable port blocking on the port group configured for the virtual machine on a standard switch

  C. Enable port blocking on the port group configured for the virtual machine on a distributed switch

  D. Enable promiscuous mode on the port group configured for the virtual machine on a distributed switch

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 103:

  A vSphere administrator upgrades a version 5.1.0 vSphere Distributed Switch to version 5.5.0. Another

  vSphere administrator, unaware of this change, tries to add an ESXi version 5.1.0 host to the switch and

  fails.

  What is causing this addition of the ESXi host to fail?

  A. The upgraded switch supports version 5.5 ESXi hosts only.

  B. The upgraded switch must be set up for backwards compatibility.

  C. The switch failed to upgrade properly.

  D. A version 5.5 ESXi host must be added to the switch before the 5.1 host.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 104:

  A vSphere administrator is administering a vSphere Distributed Switch port group using the vSphere Web Client. The port group was configured using Static binding, but the number of ports must increase as virtual machines are added to the port group. Which port allocation setting should the administrator use to achieve this goal?

  A. Elastic

  B. Dynamic

  C. Fixed

  D. Manual

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 105:

  An administrator needs to deploy a vSphere solution containing a number of hosts and a vSphere

  Distributed Switch.

  Which steps should the administrator take to accomplish this?

  A. Create the vSphere Distributed Switch, deploy the ESXi hosts, and then add each host to the switch.

  B. Deploy the ESXi hosts, create an HA/DRS cluster containing the hosts, create the vSphere Distributed Switch, and then add the cluster to the switch.

  C. Create the vSphere Distributed Switch and as each ESXi host is deployed it will be automatically added to the switch.

  D. Deploy the ESXi hosts and then create the vSphere Distributed Switch on the hosts.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 106:

  A vSphere administrator has created a vSphere Standard Switch with one virtual machine port group and

  one physical uplink.

  The administrator needs to ensure that the virtual machines on this port group can communicate only with

  each other.

  What should the administrator do?

  A. Remove the physical uplink from the vSphere Standard Switch

  B. Create a Private VLAN and apply it to the virtual machine port group on the vSphere Standard Switch

  C. Enable Port Security on the vSphere Standard Switch

  D. Enable the Fenced port setting on the virtual machine port group

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 107:

  A vSphere Standard Switch is configured with two uplinks. When adjusting the failover order of the uplinks, what are two valid states in which an administrator can place the uplinks? (Choose two.)

  A. Active

  B. Unused

  C. Passive

  D. Disabled

  Correct Answer: AB

• Question 108:

  Security policy requires that all administrative activity occurs through vCenter Server. Which action should a system administrator take to meet this requirement?

  A. Use the vSphere client to right-click the cluster and enable lockdown mode on every host in the cluster at once

  B. Use the vSphere client to navigate to the Security Profile of each host and enable lockdown mode on each host

  C. Logon to the DCUI and navigate the menu to Troubleshooting Options and enable lockdown mode

  D. Logon to the ESXi Shell and type the command service lockdown start

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 109:

  What happens to the status of users already logged into ESXi Shell when a vSphere administrator enables lockdown mode?

  A. Users remain logged in and can run commands, except to disable lockdown mode.

  B. Users remain logged in and can run commands, including to disable lockdown mode.

  C. Users are immediately logged out of ESXi Shell.

  D. Users are logged out after a timeout specified by the vSphere administrator.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 110:

  As part of a multisite Single Sign-On (SSO) deployment, what two steps are required to ensure that a change to one Single Sign-On instance is propagated to the other instances? (Choose two.)

  A. Schedule a Replication Task on the primary instance

  B. Select the first instance during the installation of subsequent instances

  C. During the installation of each instance choose Linked-Mode

  D. Enable Synchronize to Active Directory on each instance

  Correct Answer: AC
