2V0-620 · Question #1

Which three VLAN Tagging modes are available in vSphere 6.x? (Choose three.)

The correct answer is A. External Switch Tagging C. Virtual Switch Tagging E. Virtual Guest Tagging. vSphere supports three VLAN tagging modes that determine where VLAN tags are applied - at the external switch, the virtual switch, or the guest OS.

Why each option

vSphere supports three VLAN tagging modes that determine where VLAN tags are applied - at the external switch, the virtual switch, or the guest OS.

AExternal Switch TaggingCorrect

External Switch Tagging (EST) is a valid vSphere VLAN mode where all VLAN tagging is performed by the physical switch and the virtual switch port is set to VLAN 0.

BPrivate VLAN Tagging

Private VLAN Tagging is not one of the three standard VLAN tagging modes - Private VLANs (PVLANs) are a port-isolation feature configured separately on distributed switches, not a tagging mode.

CVirtual Switch TaggingCorrect

Virtual Switch Tagging (VST) is a valid mode where the vSphere Standard or Distributed Switch tags frames with the VLAN ID before they leave the host.

DVXLAN Tagging

VXLAN Tagging is not a VLAN tagging mode in vSphere - VXLAN is a network overlay encapsulation protocol used by NSX for logical networking, distinct from the three VLAN tagging modes.

EVirtual Guest TaggingCorrect

Virtual Guest Tagging (VGT) is a valid mode where the guest OS itself handles 802.1Q VLAN tagging, allowing VMs to belong to multiple VLANs simultaneously.

Concept tested: vSphere VLAN tagging modes EST VST VGT
