HPE7-A04 Exam - Topic 1 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-A04 exam

Question #: 3
Topic #: 1

Two VMs on the same ESXi host are assigned to an isolated VLAN 2001 (primary VLAN 1001). The host connects to an HPE Aruba CX 10000 switch on an access port. The switch supports the same PVLAN settings. VM 1 sends traffic to VM 2. Which policy or policies does the switch apply (assuming that they exist)?

AEgress policy on VLAN 1001

BNo policies because the traffic remains local to the ESXi host

CIngress and egress policy on VLAN 1001

DIngress policy on VLAN 1001

I agree with B, traffic stays within the host.

Wait, are we sure about B? Seems too simple.

Definitely A, egress policies are always in play!

I think C makes sense too, but not sure.

B is correct, no policies apply since it's local.

I recall that if the traffic is isolated, the switch might not apply any policies at all, but I can't remember if that's always the case.

I'm a bit unsure, but I think ingress policies might only apply when traffic enters the VLAN from outside, so maybe that's not relevant here?

I feel like there was a practice question about VLAN policies, and it mentioned that egress policies apply when traffic leaves the VLAN.

I remember studying PVLANs, and I think the traffic between VMs on the same host might not trigger any switch policies since it's local.

I'm pretty confident the switch will apply an ingress and egress policy on VLAN 1001 to control the traffic between the VMs. So I'm going with C.

Okay, I've got this. Since the VMs are on the same ESXi host, the traffic should stay local and not hit the switch. So I think the answer is B.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the PVLAN concept here. I'll need to review my notes on how private VLANs work to figure this out.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to think through the PVLAN settings and how the switch handles traffic between VMs on the same host.

I bet the answer involves some kind of '1001' magic. Maybe the switch just applies a 'spam-blocking' policy on all VLANs just because it can. Ah, the joys of networking!

Ah, the age-old question: 'What do I do when I'm not sure?' Flip a coin, of course! I'm going with A. Egress policy on VLAN 1001, because why not?

I believe it's B. No policies because the traffic remains local to the ESXi host.

Wait, do we have to consider the PVLAN settings on the switch? I'm just going to go with D. Ingress policy on VLAN 1001 and hope for the best.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The question says the switch supports the same PVLAN settings, so I'm thinking C. Ingress and egress policy on VLAN 1001 might be the correct answer.
