2V0-620 Question #171: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: Change the default Multicast Address on the new Virtual SAN cluster.. Two Virtual SAN clusters on the same Layer 2 network can coexist by assigning them different multicast addresses or placing them on separate VLANs to prevent traffic interference.

Question
An administrator is creating a new Virtual SAN cluster on a Layer 2 network. There is an existing Virtual SAN cluster on the same Layer 2 network. Which two actions would allow the new Virtual SAN cluster to coexist with the older cluster? (Choose two.)
Options
- AChange the default Multicast Address on the new Virtual SAN cluster.
- BChange the default Unicast Address on the new Virtual SAN Cluster.
- CCreate a separate VLAN for each cluster.
- DCreate an ARP Alias for the Virtual SAN VMkernel Network Adapter.
Explanation
Two Virtual SAN clusters on the same Layer 2 network can coexist by assigning them different multicast addresses or placing them on separate VLANs to prevent traffic interference.
Common mistakes.
- B. Virtual SAN in the versions this question targets uses multicast rather than configurable unicast addressing for cluster communication, so changing a unicast address does not resolve the coexistence conflict.
- D. An ARP Alias on the VMkernel adapter is an IP networking construct unrelated to VSAN cluster isolation and does not prevent multicast traffic conflicts between two clusters on the same segment.
