  1. Which vSphere component is responsible for abstracting physical network resources and providing logical switching capabilities for virtual machines?

    Answer: vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS)

    vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) abstracts physical network resources and provides centralized logical switching across multiple ESXi hosts.

  2. What is the default port group created on a vSphere Standard Switch when an ESXi host is first configured?

    Answer: VM Network

    VM Network is the default port group created on a vSphere Standard Switch during initial ESXi host configuration.

  3. Which feature in vSphere allows live migration of virtual machines between ESXi hosts without any downtime?

    Answer: vMotion

    vMotion enables live migration of powered-on virtual machines between ESXi hosts with zero downtime by transferring VM memory and state.

  4. In vSphere networking, what is the purpose of a VMkernel (vmk) adapter?

    Answer: To handle host-level traffic such as vMotion, management, and storage

    VMkernel adapters handle ESXi host-level traffic including management, vMotion, vSAN, and iSCSI/NFS storage communications.

  5. Which NIC teaming policy in vSphere uses the virtual machine's port ID to determine which physical uplink to use?

    Answer: Route based on originating virtual port

    Route based on originating virtual port assigns each VM port to a specific uplink using the port ID, providing simple load distribution.

  6. What is the maximum number of physical NICs (uplinks) that can be added to a single vSphere Distributed Switch?

    Answer: 32

    A vSphere Distributed Switch supports up to 32 physical NIC uplinks per host, providing extensive bandwidth and redundancy options.
