• Harborview still carries a leftover management NIC on a virtual switch that is configured only on that ESXi host and is not shared through vCenter. Which vSphere networking construct is that?
• A county cluster of 12 ESXi hosts must use the same port-group names and VLAN IDs without operators editing a switch on each host. Which vSphere networking construct provides that centralized configuration?
• Permit-system virtual machines attach to a named vSphere network tagged VLAN 210. What is that attachment point?
• GIS mapping virtual machines must vMotion between county hosts. Which vSphere networking object carries that host service, rather than guest application traffic?
• Each library ESXi host binds two physical NICs on the VDS so one uplink can fail without dropping catalog-VM traffic. Which vSphere networking concept is that?
• City operators tag VLAN 40 on a VDS port group and treat that as identical to an NSX overlay segment. How should those two constructs be distinguished?
• A municipal top-of-rack switch delivers many VM port-group VLANs to the cluster on one physical uplink. Which vSphere and physical attachment model is that?
• Court-recording staff want a packet-capture virtual machine to see every frame on its port group, not only frames addressed to that virtual machine. Which vSphere networking setting is that request?
• The county sets the VDS MTU to 9000 so vSAN and later NSX tunnel endpoints can carry large frames without fragmentation. Which vSphere networking concept is that setting?

• Harborview keeps ESXi management on its own VLAN port group and keeps virtual-machine traffic on different port groups. Which vSphere networking concept is that separation?
• After NSX-T is introduced, the city's vSphere Distributed Switch appears as the host switch that carries overlay traffic. How should an associate identify that relationship?
