You are discussing virtual networking with a colleague. She asks you which type of virtual switch supports the advanced networking option called Port Mirroring. Which of the following is the correct a

There is no VMware virtual switch type called an 'Extended virtual switch' - this term does not correspond to any real VMware networking component.

The vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) supports Port Mirroring, which duplicates traffic from specified source ports to a designated destination port or remote IP address, enabling network monitoring tools and packet analyzers to capture traffic without disrupting production flows - this capability does not exist on the vSphere Standard Switch.

The vSphere Standard Switch (vSS) does not support Port Mirroring; advanced features such as Port Mirroring, NetFlow, and LACP are exclusive to the Distributed Switch.

There is no VMware virtual switch type called an 'Enterprise virtual switch' - this is not a valid VMware networking product or feature name.
