CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 45

A systems administrator has verified that a physical switchport that is connected to a virtualization host is using all available bandwidth. Which of the following would BEST address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Port mirroring
• B. Link aggregation
• C. Spanning tree
• D. Microsegmentation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Link aggregation is the correct choice because it allows multiple physical connections to be combined into a single logical link, thereby increasing the overall bandwidth available to the virtualization host. The other options, such as port mirroring, do not enhance bandwidth, spanning tree is used for loop prevention in networks, and microsegmentation is focused on security rather than bandwidth issues.
