An administrator would like to enable a switch setting to restrict the network bandwidth that is available to ports, but the solution must also allow bursts of traffic to flow through at higher speeds.
Which vSphere Distributed Switch setting accomplishes this goal?
Traffic shaping is the vSphere Distributed Switch setting that allows administrators to limit the network bandwidth available to ports while permitting bursts of traffic to pass through at higher speeds. This feature helps regulate the flow of network traffic by defining average and peak bandwidth, along with burst size, ensuring controlled yet flexible network performance.
B is correct
B is correct
Network traffic shaping is a way to place limits on the amount of bandwidth that VMs can use. By default, traffic shaping is disabled. A traffic shaping policy sets the average and peak bandwidth and burst size values: - Average bandwidth: Amount of bandwidth that is used by each VM under normal operation. - Peak bandwidth: If a VM sends a burst of traffic, the VM uses a higher bandwidth, called peak bandwidth, to send data. - Burst size: When a VM sends a large amount of data at once, it is called a burst of traffic. The burst size defines how much data is considered a large amount.
B. Traffic shaping Explanation: Traffic shaping is a feature of vSphere Distributed Switch that allows an administrator to restrict the network bandwidth that is available to ports. This feature also allows for bursts of traffic to flow through at higher speeds, which is the requirement specified by the administrator. Traffic shaping helps to regulate the flow of network traffic by specifying a maximum and minimum bandwidth limit for each port, which in turn helps to ensure that sufficient bandwidth is available for critical network traffic and prevent network congestion.
