QUESTION NO: 15
A network administrator notices that a few virtual machines run slowly every morning. To
troubleshoot the issue the administrator needs to analyze the total traffic sent I virtual machines.
Which feature would the administrator use for troubleshooting?

www.braindumps.com

VMware 1V0-601 Exam

A. Virtual LANs
B. Traffic Shaping
C. NetFlow
D. Port Mirroring
Answer: D
Explanation: This feature is similar to the port mirroring capability available on the physical
switches. Network administrators can use this feature to troubleshoot any network related issues
in the virtual infrastructure and monitor virtual_machine-to-virtual_machine traffic that is flowing on
the same ESXi host. Network administrators use network analyzer tool, which captures traffic,
along with the port mirror feature to perform monitoring and troubleshooting activities. In the
physical network, depending on where the analyzer or debug tool is placed in the network,
network administrators choose different port mirroring options. The following are some of the
standard port mirroring options available on physical switches
