Cisco 350-401 Practice Test 17

Question 160

An ESXi cluster moves a VM between hosts, and the VM must retain access to the same tenant port group and VLAN after migration. The incident evidence is: The migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Reserve or allocate appropriate VM memory and host capacity instead of changing remote routing tables.
  2. Enable supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group.
  3. Align virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs.
  4. Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The required correction is: Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking. The underlying failure mechanism is: Virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts. Verify success by carrying out this direct test: validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Reserve or allocate appropriate VM memory and host capacity would not meet the need for consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

B:

Enabling supported virtual-switch port security or forged-transmit rejection for the guest port group would not meet the need for consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

C:

Aligning virtual port-group VLAN tagging and physical uplink 802.1Q trunk permitted VLANs would not meet the need for consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

Question 161

An ESXi cluster moves a VM between hosts, and the VM must retain access to the same tenant port group and VLAN after migration. The proposed remedy is: Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking. Which observation would most directly confirm that remedy works as intended?

  1. Capture east-west frames on the virtual switch and verify no physical-uplink transit is required for local guests.
  2. Compare guest memory pressure and host swap/balloon activity before and after capacity adjustment.
  3. Validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.
  4. Transmit a controlled spoofed-source frame and confirm the virtual switch rejects it while legitimate frames pass.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The decisive acceptance observation is: Validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration. This tests the working mechanism, while the original incident was: the migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This test measures a different behavior: Capture east-west frames on the virtual switch and verify no physical-uplink transit is required for local guests. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.

B:

This test measures a different behavior: Compare guest memory pressure and host swap/balloon activity before and after capacity adjustment. It does not establish the target outcome. For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.

D:

For the documented fault, the direct acceptance test is: validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.

Question 162

An ESXi cluster moves a VM between hosts, and the VM must retain access to the same tenant port group and VLAN after migration. During troubleshooting: The migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. Which underlying cause best explains the recorded behavior?

  1. The virtual-switch security policy permits forged source-MAC transmissions.
  2. Their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups.
  3. Virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.
  4. The virtual machine lacks sufficient effective compute/memory resources, not packet transport reachability.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The actual technical cause is: Virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts. It specifically explains the observation: the migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. The correcting configuration is: use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: A compromised VM forges another tenant's MAC and sends frames through its vNIC unrestricted. Here the recorded observation is: the migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. The applicable cause is: virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.

B:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Two guests in separate isolated virtual networks cannot ARP for one another despite using the same physical host. Here the recorded observation is: the migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. The applicable cause is: virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.

D:

That diagnosis is supported by a different symptom: Packet-capture samples drop during host memory pressure while physical network links show no errors. Here the recorded observation is: the migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity. The applicable cause is: virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.

Question 163

An ESXi cluster moves a VM between hosts, and the VM must retain access to the same tenant port group and VLAN after migration. The initial change is: Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking. Which continuing control most directly prevents a recurrence of the documented problem: The migrated VM lands on a host with no matching port group and loses network connectivity.

  1. Verify virtual-switch port-group membership and VLAN isolation after VM migrations.
  2. Audit distributed-switch uplinks, port groups and VLAN configuration during host addition.
  3. Recheck port-group anti-spoof policies during migration and vNIC replacement.
  4. Set workload resource reservations and monitor oversubscription under peak tests.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The continuing protective control is: Audit distributed-switch uplinks, port groups and VLAN configuration during host addition. This addresses the underlying failure mechanism: virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts. The corresponding operational check is: validate guest connectivity and port-group assignment after a test live migration.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That control reduces a separate risk: Their virtual NICs attach to different isolated virtual switches or port groups. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts. The specific required safeguard is: audit distributed-switch uplinks, port groups and VLAN configuration during host addition.

C:

That control reduces a separate risk: The virtual-switch security policy permits forged source-MAC transmissions. For the described design, the recurring risk arises from: virtual networking is not consistently provisioned across destination hosts.

The specific required safeguard is: audit distributed-switch uplinks, port groups and VLAN configuration during host addition.

Question 164

A packet-capture VM is starved because its shared hypervisor host is overcommitted on memory during a load test. The incident evidence is: Packet-capture samples drop during host memory pressure while physical network links show no errors. Which targeted configuration or design change best addresses the failure?

  1. Enable supported nested virtualization/CPU assist exposure where required by the hypervisor and hardware.
  2. Reserve or allocate appropriate VM memory and host capacity instead of changing remote routing tables.
  3. Create separate guest VMs with allocated vCPUs, memory and virtual NICs managed by the hypervisor.
  4. Use consistent distributed virtual-switch port-group definitions or equivalent supported host networking.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:
