Q: 20
Exhibit switch
An administrator configures a distributed switch and adds the first VMware ESXi server to it.
The administrator also performs the following activities:
•
The administrator assigns two uplinks to the distributed switch.
•
The administrator enables uplink teaming.
When attempting to perform a health check of the teaming policy, the health status of the Teaming
and Failover reports as ' Unknown?, as seen in the exhibit.
What can the administrator changes in the distributed switch for the health status to report
correctly?

A is wrong, B. You need at least two hosts so the distributed switch can send health check traffic between them, and each host has to have 2 uplinks or the teaming policy can't be validated. Pretty sure that's all they're asking here. Correct me if I'm missing something.
Classic exam gotcha, since it says minimum requirements you just need two hosts with two uplinks each for the teaming/failover health check to work. So B. I've seen this in practice labs and the official guide backs it up, but open to other takes if anyone's seen differently.
C makes more sense to me here, since using three hosts with four uplinks each would maximize health check coverage and redundancy. I just figured more hosts equals better validation for the teaming policy. Not sure if I'm missing a detail, feel free to correct me.
C/D? Had something like this in a mock and both seemed plausible, but can't remember which is the right pick.
B tbh, saw similar on my exam. Two hosts with two uplinks each are needed for the health check to work.
B or C? Is the question looking for the absolute minimum, or does it need full redundancy for all possible policies?
Be respectful. No spam.
