Which name identifies a VMkernel port in a virtual networking configuration?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

A VMkernel port in a virtual networking configuration is identified by the name vmk followed by a numeric identifier, such as vmk1. This naming convention is specific to network adapters used by the VMkernel to handle traffic for services such as vMotion, IP storage, Fault Tolerance logging, and vSAN. Each VMkernel port is distinct and dedicated to the management traffic separate from regular virtual machine traffic.

D. vmk1 (VMkernel port) A vmk (VMkernel) port is a virtual network adapter that is created when you configure a vSphere ESXi host for a particular network service, such as vMotion, IP storage, Fault Tolerance logging, or vSAN. The vmk port provides a dedicated network connection for that service, separate from the connections used for VM traffic. Each vmk port is assigned a unique identifier, such as vmk1, vmk2, etc., which you can use to identify and manage the port in the vSphere environment.

vmk = VM Kernel port used for many different purposes than general networking traffic such as Storage, management, provisioning, etc.
