Which could be the cause of this issue?

A new virtual machine cannot reach its default gateway.

– The vSphere administrator checks that the virtual machine’s vmnic is connected to the correct portgroup, 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.

Answer: B

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.
