Guy, a system administrator, has moved an ESXi host to a different subnet and can no longer administer it using the original IP address. What can Guy do in order to restore connectivity to the host?
  1. Log onto the switch that the host is now connected to and initiate a factory restore.
  2. Instruct the data center staff to move the cable from NIC1.
  3. Visit the host and reset the system configuration and then configure IP settings appropriate to the new subnet.
  4. Visit the host and configure lockdown mode, then reset the root password.
Explanation
Answer: C - In order to gain access to a host that has been moved to a different subnet, you could reset the system configuration and configure the network settings to ones more appropriate to the new subnet. When you reset the configuration of an ESXi host, it will be set back to installation defaults and will prompt you to reboot the host. After the reboot completes you will have to set a root password and any specific configuration related to the host, such as - but not limited to - lockdown settings and network configuration.
