The correct NSX CLI command used to check the GENEVE tunnel status on ESXi transport node is option B, which is "get host-switch <Host-Switch-Name> tunnel status".

Here is a detailed explanation of why this option is the correct answer:

  • NSX-T Data Center uses Geneve protocol for encapsulating overlay traffic between different virtual machines and hosts.
  • In order to monitor the GENEVE tunnel status on an ESXi transport node, you need to check the status of the host switch.
  • The "get host-switch" command is used to retrieve information about host switches in NSX-T Data Center.
  • The "<Host-Switch-Name>" parameter is used to specify the name of the host switch that you want to check the tunnel status for.
  • The "tunnel status" parameter is used to retrieve the status of the GENEVE tunnel on the specified host switch.
  • Therefore, the correct command to check the GENEVE tunnel status on an ESXi transport node is "get host-switch <Host-Switch-Name> tunnel status".

Option A ("get host-switch <Host-Switch-Name> tunnels") is not the correct answer because it retrieves information about all tunnels on the specified host switch, not just the GENEVE tunnel.

Option C ("get transport-node tunnel state") is not the correct answer because it retrieves information about the overall tunnel state of the transport node, not just the GENEVE tunnel.

Option D ("get transport-node tunnel status") is not the correct answer because it retrieves information about the overall tunnel status of the transport node, not just the GENEVE tunnel.
