When configuring the vSwitch NIC teaming policy, what happens when the Notify Switches option is set to Yes?
A.
The virtual switch is notified when the location of a physical NIC changes
B.
The physical switch is notified when the location of a virtual NIC changes
C.
The virtual switch is notified when the physical NIC link state changes
D.
The physical switch is notified when the virtual NIC link state changes
Explanation:
Mastering VMware vSphere, page 176.
A vSwitch includes a Notify Switches configuration setting, which when set to Yes, will allow the physical switch to immediately learn of any of the following changes:
A NIC team failover of failback has occurred.
When a NIC team member fails, or fails back, the virtual NIC connected to the switch will change.
I think D is correct too.

“whenever a virtual Ethernet adapter is connected to the virtual switch or whenever that virtual Ethernet adapter’s traffic would be routed over a dif-ferent physical Ethernet adapter in the team due to a failover event, a notification is sent out over the network to update the lookup tables on physical switches”
It says “whenever a virtual Ethernet adapter is connected to the virtual switch”, which is a virtual NIC change of link state (link up)
