Your company has a policy regarding the use of distributed virtual port groups for application
deployments that requires all port configurations to maintain a finite maximum.
What two configuration options will assure that only a finite, specific number of ports can be
configured on a distributed virtual port group? (Choose two.)
A.
Configure the Port binding option value for Ephemeral.
B.
Configure the Port allocation option value for Elastic.
C.
Configure the Port binding option value for Static Binding.
D.
Configure the Port allocation option value for Fixed.
C, D
a) incorrect: Ephemeral binding deletes port as VM is shut down.
c) correct: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022312
“When you connect a virtual machine to a port group configured with static binding, a port is immediately assigned and reserved for it, guaranteeing connectivity at all times”

b) incorrect, as “Elastic” creates additional 8 ports when all ports are assigned
d) correct, no additional ports are created automatically
d)
…and you don’t get the option to fix the number of ports unless you also choose Static Binding
