Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerStore — Question 5

What defines FEC link aggregation mode?

Answer options

• A. Switches to the next interface when the primary interface becomes unavailable.
• B. Balances outgoing traffic based on hashed protocol header information that includes source and destination addresses, and VLAN tag.
• C. Balances outgoing traffic based on hashed protocol header information that includes source and destination addresses.
• D. Balances outbound traffic across all active ports in the aggregated link.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, accurately describes how FEC link aggregation uses hashed protocol header information to balance traffic, incorporating both source and destination addresses along with VLAN tags. Option A is incorrect as it describes a failover mechanism rather than traffic balancing. Options C and D do not include VLAN tags, and while D discusses active ports, it does not specify the hashing method used for traffic distribution.
