Dell EMC Associate – Cloud Infrastructure and Services v4 — Question 22

What is a benefit of link aggregation?

Answer options

• A. Saves bandwidth by restricting traffic to a specific potentially congested ISL
• B. Improves performance by combining two or more parallel ISLs into a single physical ISL
• C. Optimizes fabric performance by distributing network traffic across ISL
• D. Improves ISL utilization by increasing the network traffic on a specific ISL

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is accurate because link aggregation allows multiple ISLs to function as a single logical connection, increasing bandwidth and performance. Options A and D incorrectly suggest limiting or concentrating traffic, which does not align with the purpose of link aggregation. Option C, while related to performance, does not specifically address the combining of multiple ISLs, making it less precise than B.
