Exam 2V0-15.25 Topic 1 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 2V0-15.25 exam
Question #: 10
Topic #: 1
An administrator is troubleshooting network connectivity issues on a VMware ESX host configured with a dedicated VMware vSAN vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) port group. The VMware vSAN vDS port group has two physical adapters and two uplinks assigned. After a failure of the active physical adapter, the vSAN vDS connection over the vSAN network was lost.
What is the cause of the issue?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

In vSAN ESA or OSA networking configured through a dedicated vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS), each vSAN vmkernel port must have at least oneActivephysical uplink available at all times. The scenario describes a vDS withtwo physical adaptersandtwo uplinks, but after failure of the active uplink,vSAN traffic was lost. This only occurs when the second physical NIC isnot actually assigned to the vSAN port group-typically because its uplink is set to"Unused".
In such a misconfiguration:
* vSAN traffic only uses the single active uplink.
* When that uplink fails, vSAN hasno failover path, causing immediate connectivity loss.
Option A (storage policies) does not affect network uplink behavior.
Option B (VLAN tagging) could cause connectivity failure but would not suddenly break only after an uplink failure.
Option D (failover policy not allowing fallback) affects recovery order, not immediate redundancy.
