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.
