Explanation
The esxcli network firewall refresh command reloads firewall rule XML files on a live ESXi host, making new custom rules immediately visible without a reboot.
Common mistakes.
- A. esxcli network firewall reload reloads the firewall module and its currently cached configuration but does not re-read or pick up newly added XML rule definition files.
- C. A full host reboot is unnecessary because the esxcli refresh command is designed to apply new rules on a running host without downtime.
- D. Removing and re-adding the host from inventory is a disruptive administrative action with no effect on loading local firewall rule XML files.
