A vSphere administrator is administering a vSphere Distributed Switch port group using the vSphere Web Client. The port group was configured using Static binding, but the number of ports must increase as virtual machines are added to the port group.
Which port allocation setting should the administrator use to achieve this goal?
A. Elastic
B. Dynamic
C. Fixed
D. Manual
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Port allocation can be set to either Elastic or Fixed. The default number of ports are set to 8. When port allocation is set to Elastic, a new set of ports is created automatically when all ports are used.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Dynamic is not a valid port allocation setting, it is a port binding setting.
C: Fixed: The ports are fixed to 8, and no additional ports are created when all ports are used up
D: Manual is not a valid port allocation setting.
