HPE Designing HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions — Question 8

You plan to configure a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) for two connections within a server profile for a compute node running an ESXi system.
What is required from the VMware side to enable LAG?

Answer options

• A. Virtual Distributed Switch.
• B. Load-balancing cluster.
• C. vSphere Standard license.
• D. Dedicated VMkernel port.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To enable a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) in VMware, a Virtual Distributed Switch is essential as it allows for the aggregation of multiple physical network connections into a single logical connection. The other options, including a load-balancing cluster, vSphere Standard license, and dedicated VMkernel port, do not provide the necessary functionalities to configure LAG.
