CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 42

Which of the following provides redundancy on a file server to ensure the server is still connected to a LAN even in the event of a port failure on a switch?

Answer options

• A. NIC teaming
• B. Load balancer
• C. RAID array
• D. PDUs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

NIC teaming combines multiple network interface cards (NICs) to create a single virtual NIC, providing redundancy and increasing bandwidth. A load balancer distributes traffic but does not directly provide redundancy for a single server's connection. A RAID array is focused on data redundancy and performance, not network connectivity. PDUs manage power but do not influence network connections.
