An ESXi host’s networking is configured as shown. The virtual machine named Fileserver01 is unable to ping anything on an external network:
Which condition would explain this behavior?
A. The vSwitch1 virtual switch does not have an attached vmnic adapter.
B. The Fileserver01 virtual machine is not running.
C. vSwitch0 is configured to reject MAC address spoofing.
D. vmk0 is using a non-routable IP address.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
D: Non-routable IP addresses gets registered into the Directory for vmk0 and that will cause problems when that host is pinged. Any address beginning with 172 is non-routable outside of the private range thus it cannot ping anything on the external network.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The exhibit clearly shows that vSwitch virtual switch does indeed have an attached vmnic adapter.
B: The Fileserver01 is connected.
C: MAC address spoofing will only be a factor when MAC address changes are in play. Besides if MAC address spoofing is rejected a connection should have been there. This is not the case here since the virtual machine cannot ping anything on an external network.
