Explanation:
By limiting the bandwidth of a FTP server, youcan enable traffic shaping.
A vSphere 5.x implementation contains two ESXi hosts, ESXi01and ESXi02. There is a virtual machine "VM21" connected to the Production port group on ESXi01.
ESXi01 has the following switch configuration.
vSwitch0, single uplink to 10.1.20.0/24
Production port group -
VMkernel port for vMotion -
VMKernel port for management -
vSwitch1, single uplink to 10.1.40.0/24
Engineering port group -
VMKernel port for NFS storage -
ESXi02 has the following switch configuration.
vSwitch0, single uplink to 10.1.20.0/24
Engineering port group -
VMkernel port for vMotion -
VMKernel port for management -
vSwitch1, single uplink to 10.1.40.0/24
Production port group -
VMKernel port for NFS storage -
Which two statements are true about thisconfiguration? (Choose two.)
Answer : B,D
Explanation:
If VM21 is migrated to ESXi 02, then according to the information provided, it will not be available on the network. Likewise, broadcasts from production port group will not reach engineering port group.
Which network settings are only available with vSphere Distributed Switches?

A vSphere Standard Switch has been configured for IP-based load balancing using two uplinks. A new uplink is added to the vSwitch.
What is the status of the uplink by default?
Answer : C
Explanation:
The new uplink will be marked as active but it cannot use active NIC team until it is added toan existing 802.3ad group on the physical switch.

Which two statements are true regarding vSphere virtual switch uplinks? (Choose two.)
Answer : A,D
Explanation:
VMware Virtual Networking Concepts, page 6. Some virtual switches should not connect to a physical network and thus have no uplink port. If you attempt to assign an uplink port,
(previously assigned to a switch), to a second switch, the uplink will be disconnected from the first switch before being connected to the second.
