Each logical port on a vSphere standard switch can be a member of how many port groups? (Choose the best answer.)

The correct answer is C. 1. On a vSphere Standard Switch (vSS), each logical port belongs to exactly one port group - it is a 1-to-1 relationship. A port group defines the network policy (VLAN, security, traffic shaping) for all ports assigned to it, and a port can only be governed by one policy at a…

Explanation

On a vSphere Standard Switch (vSS), each logical port belongs to exactly one port group - it is a 1-to-1 relationship. A port group defines the network policy (VLAN, security, traffic shaping) for all ports assigned to it, and a port can only be governed by one policy at a time, so membership in multiple port groups simultaneously is not supported. This is different from physical switch port-channel or trunk concepts; in vSS design, if you need different policies you create separate port groups, each with their own set of ports.
