Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The tagging mode that is required is Virtual Guest Tagging (VGT), which allows VLAN tagging to be done at the VM level. VGT requires that the VLAN ID on the switch port group be set to 4095, which is a special value that indicates that packets from all VLANs are allowed to pass through.

Candidate 3: I think both of you are wrong, the correct tagging mode is A) External Switch Tagging (EST) because the VLAN ID on the switch port group must be 4095.
