2V0-620 · Question #184

Which two networking connection types can be configured on a virtual switch? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Virtual machine portgroups B. VMkernel services (such as NFS, iSCSI, or vMotion) to the physical network. A vSphere virtual switch supports two primary connection types: virtual machine port groups for VM network traffic and VMkernel port groups for host-level services such as vMotion, NFS, and iSCSI.

Why each option

A vSphere virtual switch supports two primary connection types: virtual machine port groups for VM network traffic and VMkernel port groups for host-level services such as vMotion, NFS, and iSCSI.

AVirtual machine portgroupsCorrect

Virtual machine port groups are a standard connection type on both standard and distributed virtual switches, providing network connectivity to guest VMs and allowing VLAN tagging and traffic shaping policies to be applied.

BVMkernel services (such as NFS, iSCSI, or vMotion) to the physical networkCorrect

VMkernel ports are the second primary connection type on a virtual switch, used to connect ESXi host services - such as vMotion, iSCSI, NFS, and management traffic - directly to the physical network through the switch's uplinks.

CWeb services over the Management Network

'Web services over the Management Network' is not a defined or separate connection type on a vSwitch - management traffic is handled through a VMkernel port, not a distinct web-services port group category.

DNFS and FCoE storage services

NFS and FCoE are not independent vSwitch connection types; NFS is accessed via a VMkernel port (already covered by choice B), and FCoE requires a dedicated Converged Network Adapter and its own configuration path outside standard vSwitch port group types.
