A security audit has revealed that a virtual machine on vSwitch1 is receiving all traffic sent to the
virtual switch, violating corporate policy. The vSphere administrator examines the properties for
vSwitch1, as shown in the exhibit:

Which configuration explains why the virtual machine is receiving all traffic sent to vSwitch1?
A.
The Production port group has the Promiscuous Mode policy set to Accept.
B.
vSwitch1 has the Promiscuous Mode policy set to Reject.
C.
The Network Failure Detection policy on the Production port group is set to Link Status plus
Beaconing.
D.
The Network Failure Detection policy on vSwitch1 is set to Link Status only.
Explanation:
Must be wrong picture? Clearly it shows Promiscuous mode “Reject” ?
Promiscuous mode for the switch, not for the port group.
Remember the portgroup settings can overide vswitch settings 🙂
