During the installation of ESXi, a vmkernel interface can be configured with what capabilities?
A. Management traffic
B. Management traffic and vMotion
C. Management traffic, vMotion and Fault Tolerance logging
D. Management traffic, vMotion, Fault Tolerance logging and IP storage
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A vmkernel interface can be used for several types of traffic. However, during the installation of ESXi, the default vmkernel interface is configured for management traffic only.
Management traffic carries the configuration and management communication for ESXi hosts, vCenter Server, and host-to-host High Availability traffic.
By default, when you install the ESXi software, a vSphere Standard switch is created on the host together with a VMkernel adapter for management traffic. To provide redundancy, you can connect two or more physical NICs to a VMkernel adapter for management traffic.
Incorrect Answers:
B: You can configure the vmkernel network for vMotion only after ESXi is installed. During the installation, the vmkernel network is configured for management traffic only. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: You can configure the vmkernel network for vMotion and Fault Tolerance logging only after ESXi is installed. During the installation, the vmkernel network is configured for management traffic only. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: You can configure the vmkernel network for vMotion, Fault Tolerance logging and IP storage only after ESXi is installed. During the installation, the vmkernel network is configured for management traffic only. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
