An administrator suspects that the MTU value for a vSphere Standard Switch is misconfigured. Which two commands can determine the value? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. esxcfg-vswitch -l B. esxcli network vswitch standard list. Two commands can display vSphere Standard Switch MTU: the legacy esxcfg-vswitch -l and the modern esxcli network vswitch standard list, both of which output MTU in their results.

Why each option

Two commands can display vSphere Standard Switch MTU: the legacy esxcfg-vswitch -l and the modern esxcli network vswitch standard list, both of which output MTU in their results.

Aesxcfg-vswitch -lCorrect

esxcfg-vswitch -l is the legacy ESXi CLI command that lists all standard vSwitch configurations including the configured MTU value for each switch.

Besxcli network vswitch standard listCorrect

esxcli network vswitch standard list is the current esxcli namespace command that enumerates standard vSwitch properties including the MTU setting, and is the preferred modern equivalent.

Cesxcfg-vss -l

esxcfg-vss is not a valid ESXi command; the correct legacy binary for standard switches is esxcfg-vswitch, making this option non-functional.

Desxcli network standard vswitch list

The correct esxcli syntax places 'standard' before the object noun - 'esxcli network vswitch standard list' - not 'esxcli network standard vswitch list', so this command fails with an invalid namespace error.
