2V0-621 Question #224: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: esxcli network nic list. The esxcli network nic list command displays physical NIC (vmnic) attributes including Link state (Up/Down), speed, and duplex - making it the correct command for checking physical uplink status.

Question

Which command shows the Physical Uplink status for a vmnic?

Options

  • Aesxcli network ip get
  • Besxcli network nic list
  • Cesxcli network vmnic list
  • Desxcli network ifconfig get

Explanation

The esxcli network nic list command displays physical NIC (vmnic) attributes including Link state (Up/Down), speed, and duplex - making it the correct command for checking physical uplink status.

Common mistakes.

  • A. esxcli network ip get operates at the IP configuration layer (VMkernel interfaces and addresses) and does not report physical link state or uplink status for vmnic devices.
  • C. esxcli network vmnic list is not a valid esxcli namespace or subcommand - physical NIC status is accessed through the 'nic' namespace, not a 'vmnic' subcommand.
  • D. esxcli network ifconfig get is not a valid esxcli command; ifconfig-style syntax belongs to legacy Linux networking tools and is not part of the esxcli command framework used on ESXi.

Concept tested. esxcli command for physical NIC uplink status
