An organization has created a dedicated network segment for test machines. The test machines can reach outside resources, but they cannot communicate with each other. Which step is considered a valid way to restore communication among those machines?
Enable trunking on the switch interfaces that connect to the hypervisor
Create address translation rules between the new segment and the main network
Tear down the newly created segment and revert to an existing one
Use promiscuous mode on the host to capture global packets
Enabling trunk ports on the switch interfaces that connect to the hypervisor maintains the broadcast domain for the test machines. If trunking is missing, traffic to that segment is dropped and prevents communication. Setting a host interface to promiscuous mode is usually for packet inspection and does not fix segmentation issues. Address translation rules deal with external traffic flow, not traffic within the same broadcast domain. Removing the new segment discards the test setup rather than fixing its connectivity.
