HPE Virtual Connect Solutions v4 — Question 57

A customer wants to install an HPE Proliant server that has a single dual port 10Gb NIC.
Which NIC feature should you introduce to allow each 10Gb port to be seen as four individual adapters in the operating system?

Answer options

• A. NPAR
• B. RoCE
• C. FCoE
• D. RDMA

Correct answer: A

Explanation

NPAR (Network Partitioning) is specifically designed to allow a single NIC to be divided into multiple virtual NICs, enabling each physical port to be recognized as separate network adapters by the operating system. The other options, such as RoCE, FCoE, and RDMA, serve different purposes related to data transfer and storage protocols, but do not provide the same functionality for partitioning network interfaces.
