CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 338

A network architect wants a server to have the ability to retain network availability even if one of the network switches it is connected to goes down. Which of the following should the architect implement on the server to achieve this goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, NIC teaming, as it allows multiple network interface cards to work together, providing redundancy and ensuring continuous network availability if one connection fails. Option A, RAID, is related to data storage redundancy, not network connectivity. Option B, UPS, provides power backup, which is not relevant to switch failure. Option D, load balancing, distributes traffic but does not specifically ensure continued connectivity if a switch goes down.
