Which two configuration options can only be enabled on distributed switches? (Choose two.)
Which two configuration options can only be enabled on distributed switches? (Choose two.)
Port Mirroring and NetFlow are features that can only be enabled on distributed switches. Port Mirroring allows the copying of network traffic from a virtual switch port to another port for monitoring and analysis purposes. NetFlow is a network protocol used to collect, aggregate, and record traffic data to monitor network performance and detect issues. These capabilities are exclusive to distributed switches and are not available on standard switches. VLAN IDs, NIC Teaming, and Load Balancing can be configured on both standard and distributed switches.
Standard Switch Features: VLAN support, Security policy, NIC teaming and failover policy, and Traffic shaping policy for outbound traffic. Distributed Switch Features: (All of the aforementioned features on a Standard Switch) Traffic shaping policy for inbound traffic, NetFlow, Port mirroring, and Network I/O Control.
Answer is A,C

Answer is A, C https://vmarena.com/vsphere-standard-switch-vs-distributed-switch/
A and C obviously
A and C
A. Port Mirroring and C. NetFlow can only be enabled on distributed switches in vSphere. Port Mirroring, also known as network monitoring or span, allows you to copy network traffic from a virtual switch port to another virtual switch port for analysis purposes. This feature is only available on distributed switches in vSphere. NetFlow is a network protocol used for collecting, aggregating, and recording traffic flow data in a network. NetFlow is used to monitor network traffic and can be used to identify network performance issues or security incidents. In vSphere, NetFlow is only available on distributed switches. B. VLAN IDs, D. NIC Teaming, and E. Load Balancing can be enabled on both standard and distributed switches in vSphere. These features allow you to configure virtual networks, team network adapters for increased reliability, and balance network traffic across multiple physical adapters.
Port Mirroring: Administrators can configure port mirroring on vDS to monitor network traffic for troubleshooting, security analysis, or performance monitoring purposes NetFlow: vDS can generate NetFlow records, providing visibility into network traffic patterns and helping administrators analyze and troubleshoot network behavior.
Agreed
A and C

D and E is correct. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-73AB2E00-FE02-4D1B-970F-7D2F21F52825.html
Your link is speaking of configuring NIC Teaming, Failover, and Load Balancing on DISTRIBUTED PORT GROUPS and DISTRIBUTED PORTS. The link does not speak about configuring those items on a switch. For that reason, this link cannot serve as evidence to your claim that the correct answers are D/E.
i second this demolishment of the replied-to argument
A and C
The correct answers are A and B. Port mirroring and VLAN IDs can only be enabled on distributed switches. Port mirroring allows for the copying of packets to a monitor port, which can be used for troubleshooting and monitoring purposes. VLAN IDs allow for the creation of logical networks within a physical network, and are essential for managing and securing traffic within a network. NetFlow, NIC teaming, and load balancing can all be enabled on both distributed and standard switches.
Nope, that's not right.
The two configuration options that can only be enabled on distributed switches in VMware vSphere are: A. Port Mirroring C. NetFlow Port Mirroring allows mirroring network traffic from a port or set of ports to another port for monitoring or analysis purposes. It's a feature used for network troubleshooting, monitoring, or security analysis. NetFlow is a networking protocol used for network traffic monitoring and analysis. Enabling NetFlow on distributed switches allows the collection and analysis of network traffic data, providing insights into network usage and patterns. Both Port Mirroring and NetFlow functionalities are exclusive to distributed switches and are not available on standard switches in VMware vSphere environments.
AC should be right answer
