A new virtual machine cannot reach its default gateway.

– The vSphere administrator checks that the virtual machine-s vmnic is connected to the correct portgro

up, and that the portgroup is on the correct virtual switch

– This is the only virtual machine on this portgroup

– Other virtual machines that are on the host and connected to the same Distributed switch are running as normal

– The Distributed Switch has

only one uplink

Which could be the cause of this issue?

A. Block All Ports has been selected on the Distributed Switch.

B. The wrong VLAN ID has been added to the portgroup.

C. The VLAN has not been configured in virtual machine hardware settings.

D. The

physical adapter is down.

Explanation:

The default gateway is an entry point and an exit point in a virtual machine sub-net, VLAN, or network.

In general, a gateway is a routing device that knows how to pass traffic between different subnets

and networks.

Layer 2 and layer 3 switches with VLAN configuration allow IP assignment to each VLAN that will be used as default gateway as for that particular VLAN. A router contains routes for other subnets. Therefore, the problem occurs when wrong VLAN

ID is added to the portgroup.
