Which commands can be used to determine the MTU value for a vSphere Standard Switch?

1. esxcfg-vswitch -l

2. esxcli network vswitch standard list

3. esxcfg-vss -l

4. esxcli network standard vswitch list

The correct answer is: esxcfg-vswitch -l

The command that determines the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for a vSphere Standard Switch is effective in providing detailed information about the configurations of the virtual switches on the ESXi host. Using the command is straightforward, as it retrieves a list of all the vSwitches along with their properties, which includes the MTU settings. This value is crucial for network performance and efficiency, as it determines the largest packet size that can be transmitted over the network without fragmentation. Other commands may not provide the same level of detail or might deal with different types of network configurations or switch settings. For instance, some commands focus on different aspects of network management or require additional parameters to give information specific to MTU settings. The specificity and clarity of the chosen command make it the right choice for determining MTU settings in vSphere Standard Switches.
