The correct answer is A. Restart Management Network. The DCUI 'Restart Management Network' option restarts the ESXi management network stack, which triggers a DHCP release and renew cycle for hosts using DHCP-assigned management IP addresses.

Question

An administrator creates an ESXi cluster using vSphere Auto Deploy. The ESXi hosts are configured to get a management IP address from a DHCP server. The administrator needs to troubleshoot the management network on one of the hosts. Which DCUI option should the administrator use to renew the DHCP lease?

Options

  • ARestart Management Network
  • BRestore Network Settings
  • CTest Management Network
  • DConfigure Management Network

Why each option

The DCUI 'Restart Management Network' option restarts the ESXi management network stack, which triggers a DHCP release and renew cycle for hosts using DHCP-assigned management IP addresses.

ARestart Management NetworkCorrect

Restarting the Management Network via DCUI stops and restarts the management network interface, causing the host to release its current DHCP lease and request a new one from the DHCP server. This is the correct approach for troubleshooting DHCP-related connectivity issues on Auto Deploy hosts where the management IP is dynamically assigned. The operation does not alter the configured network settings and is safe to perform without losing the host's network configuration.

BRestore Network Settings

Restore Network Settings rolls back recent manual network configuration changes but does not trigger a DHCP lease renewal.

CTest Management Network

Test Management Network performs ping and DNS resolution tests to verify connectivity but does not renew the DHCP lease.

DConfigure Management Network

Configure Management Network allows editing IP, DNS, and VLAN settings manually but does not perform a DHCP renewal by itself.
