CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 216

A server administrator is installing a new server with multiple NICs on it. The Chief Information Officer has asked the administrator to ensure the new server will have the least amount of network downtime but a good amount of network speed. Which of the following best describes what the administrator should implement on the new server?

Answer options

• A. VLAN
• B. vNIC
• C. Link aggregation
• D. Failover

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Link aggregation is the ideal choice because it combines multiple network interfaces to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy, thus minimizing downtime. VLANs and vNICs do not directly address the requirement for improved speed and redundancy together, while failover alone only ensures continuity in case of a failure, not enhanced performance.
