An NSX administrator is using ping to check connectivity between VM1 running on ESXi1 to VM2 running on ESXi2. The ping tests fails. The administrator knows the maximum transmission unit size on the physical switch is 1600.
Which command does the administrator use to check the VMware kernel ports for tunnel end point communication?
To check VMware kernel ports for tunnel end point communication, the command 'vmkping ++netstack=vxlan -d -s 1572 <destination ip address>' should be used. This command specifies the VXLAN netstack and sets the packet size suitable for tunnels, which is necessary given the MTU size on the physical switch is 1600.
