Which capability is provided by a distributed virtual switch?

A distributed virtual switch (DVS) provides centralized management for virtual switches across multiple hosts. Instead of configuring individual virtual switches on each hypervisor, a DVS allows you to create a single logical switch that spans multiple physical servers. This simplifies network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting for virtual machines. Floating static routes are a routing feature, not a virtual switch capability. While some virtual switches can participate in dynamic routing protocols, it's not their primary distinguishing feature or a capability unique to distributed virtual switches. Advanced IPsec encryption algorithms are security features typically implemented at the host or firewall level, not a core function of a virtual switch.
