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…

Virtual SAN relies on multicast for inter-node cluster communication and heartbeats; changing the default multicast address on the new cluster assigns it a unique multicast group, preventing it from receiving or colliding with the existing cluster's traffic on the shared L2 segment.

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.

Creating a separate VLAN for each cluster enforces Layer 2 isolation at the network level, ensuring that multicast frames and VSAN storage traffic from one cluster cannot reach the other cluster's VMkernel adapters.

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.
