Question 10: Which resource management technique can be used to relieve a network bottleneck caused
by a virtual machine with occasional high outbound network activity?
A. Convert the switch from a vNetwork Standard Switch to a vNetwork Distributed Switch.
B. Create a new portgroup for the virtual machine and enable traffic shaping.
C. Apply traffic shaping to the virtual machine with high activity.
D. Apply traffic shaping to the other virtual machines in the same portgroup.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
A network bottleneck caused by a virtual machines with high outbound network activity can be
relieved by creating a new portgroup for the virtual machine and enable traffic shaping. A traffic
shaping policy is defined by average bandwidth, peak bandwidth, and burst size. You can establish a
traffic shaping policy for each port group and each distributed port or distributed port group.
ESXi shapes outbound network traffic on standard switches and inbound and outbound traffic on
distributed switches. Traffic shaping restricts the network bandwidth available on a port, but can also
be configured to allow bursts of traffic to flow through at higher speeds.
