Assuming that VLANs are not configured, what is true about traffic from a virtual machine connected to a port group on a vSphere Standard Switch with no uplinks?
A. The virtual switch will drop the packets if no uplink is present.
B. Virtual machines on any vSphere Standard Switch on the same ESXi host can receive the traffic.
C. Virtual machines in any port group on the virtual switch can monitor all of the traffic.
D. vMotion will not migrate any Virtual machines connected to a port group on the virtual switch.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Ref: Page 15 from vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-networking-guide.pdf
You can create a new standard switch with or without Ethernet adapters.
If you create a standard switch without physical network adapters, all traffic on that switch is confined to that switch. No other hosts on the physical network or virtual machines on other standard switches can send or receive traffic over this standard switch.
