A. B. C. D.D.
https://geek-university.com/vmware-esxi/configure-vlans/The correct answer is D. Port group.
ESXi provides VLAN support by assigning a VLAN ID to a port group. A port group is a logical grouping of one or more virtual machine network adapters (vNICs) and can be assigned to a virtual switch. A VLAN ID is assigned to a port group to provide isolation and segmentation of traffic on a virtual switch.
A virtual switch can have multiple port groups, each with its own VLAN ID. This allows for multiple VLANs to be supported on a single virtual switch, providing a way to isolate and segment traffic between virtual machines.
Option A is incorrect because a virtual standard switch is the basic virtual switch provided with ESXi, but it does not directly support VLANs. VLAN support must be configured on the port groups associated with the virtual switch.
Option B is incorrect because a physical network interface card (NIC) is a hardware component and does not directly support VLANs. VLANs are configured at the virtual switch and port group level.
Option C is incorrect because a virtual distributed switch (VDS) is a more advanced type of virtual switch that allows for management of multiple ESXi hosts from a central location. However, like the virtual standard switch, VLAN support must be configured at the port group level.
