Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 13

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The architect's objective is to create a configuration to automatically reroute network traffic to the second NIC within the bond. The goal is to avoid a loss of productivity should the primary Citrix Hypervisor host NIC fail. Each hypervisor currently consists of a single, active 10 GB NIC and a second, dormant 1 GB NIC.
Which two network interface configurations should the architect implement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Active-passive (LACP)
• B. Active-active (SLB)
• C. NIC teaming-bonding
• D. Active-active (LACP)

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct options are A and C because an active-passive configuration allows for seamless failover to the secondary NIC without loss of productivity, while NIC teaming-bonding can also provide redundancy and load balancing. Options B and D are incorrect because they suggest an active-active setup that would not effectively handle the failure of the primary NIC in this specific scenario.
