CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 76

A network administrator is configuring a load balancer for two systems. Which of the following must the administrator configure to ensure connectivity during a failover?

Answer options

• A. VIP
• B. NAT
• C. APIPA
• D. IPv6 tunneling
• E. Broadcast IP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, VIP (Virtual IP), which allows traffic to be redirected to the active system during a failover. Other options like NAT (B), APIPA (C), IPv6 tunneling (D), and Broadcast IP (E) do not specifically ensure continuity of service in a load balancing scenario during failover.
