A virtual machine is receiving a large number of network packets, which is affecting the performance of other virtual machines connected to the same virtual network.
What should the vSphere administrator do to resolve the issue?
A. Migrate the virtual machine to a standard switch that has been configured for ingress traffic shaping
B. Configure the distributed switch to which the virtual machine is connected for ingress traffic shaping
C. Migrate the virtual machine to a different port group on the same distributed switch
D. Enable Network I/O Control on the standard switch to which the virtual machine is connected
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Traffic shaping used to control network bandwidth. Setting the policy to ingress will control network bandwidth for incoming communication.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The ingress setting is not available for a standard switch.
C: Migrating the virtual machine is unnecessary when a simple setting can resolve the issue.
D: Network I/O Control allows the creation of resource pools containing network bandwidth.
