How does VM-A learn VM-B’s MAC address?

— Exhibit –-

— Exhibit —
An administrator has created an NSX network as shown in the exhibit:
Both VMs in the exhibit use the same distributed router for their default gateway. VM-B obtains its
IP address via DHCP. VM-A wants to send a packet to VM-B.
How does VM-A learn VM-B’s MAC address?

A.
If Host-A is made aware by the NSX Controller of VM-B’s MAC and IP addresses, Host-A
replies directly to VM-A with an ARP response.

B.
If Host-A is made aware by Host-B of VM-B’s MAC and IP addresses, Host-A replies directly to
VM-A with an ARP response.

C.
If the NSX Controller is made aware by Host-B of VM-B’s MAC and IP addresses, the NSX
Controller replies directly to VM-A with an ARP response.

D.
If Host-B is aware of VM-B’s MAC and IP addresses, Host-B is able to reply directly to VM-A
with an ARP response.
