1: What is a virtual switch

Ans: virtual switch is same like physical switch works in Layer 2 , used to create portgroups on the host
to send and receive the traffic

2: What is a portgroup

Ans: Portgroup is seperated virtual path on the virtual switch to send and receive traffic

3: What are the types of vmkernel portgroups

Ans:

Vmkernel portgroup - mgmt traffic, vmotion , iscsi, nfs

VM portgroup -- vm network traffic

4: what is the difference between standard switch and distributed switch

Ans

1: Standard switch is a host level switch , we need to manually create portgroups and make sure they
are consistent across all the hosts in the cluster

2: Distributed switch is vcenter level switch and is common switch for multiple hosts, what ever
portgroups we create on the DVS will be same for all the hosts

3: we can avoid human errors during the portgroup creation

4: DVS will come with advanced features like port mirroring , netflow , PVLAN where these features are
not available in standard switch

5: what is netflow

with netflow we can track vm packet flow , it helps during troubleshooting

6: After vmotion , my vm has lost network connection how will you troubleshoot

Ans:

- I will check portgroup name, VLAN ID

- Might be VLAN Trunk is missed on the physical switch port , i will check with network team

- CDP should be enabled to see the switch port info from the host ( vswitch -- nic -- details --cdp)

7: what is an UPLink

Ans: virtual neetwork interface from the ESXI host

8: which portgroup we use for vmotion

Ans: vmkernel

9 : what is a VLAN

Ans: VLAN is a virtual local area network is a private network with a network ( LAN )

for better security and better performance

10: Port binding

Ans: Logical grouping of ports for redundancy and high availability

11: what are the security policies available in the vswitch

Promiscuos mode : it is functionality to switch like a hub or switch

if we set to Accept, packet will be flooded to all the vms on that portgroup

if we set to reject , packet will be sent to the intended vm on that portgroup

12 Mac address change

If we set to accept , there will be no incoming traffic towards the vm but there will be only outgoing
from the VM

Preferred value is Reject

13: Forged Transmits

Ans : vice versa to mac address change

If we set to accept , there will be only incoming traffic towards the vm but there will be No outgoing
from the VM

Preferred value is Reject

14: what is Nic teaming

Ans: Grouping of NiCs for redundancy

15: NiC teaming policies

Ans:

Route based on originating port ID

Route based on MAC addresss

Route based on IP hash

explicit failover
