You have two servers that run Windows Server 2016.
You plan to create a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster that will contain both servers.
You need to configure the network cards on the servers for the planned NLB configuration.
Solution: You configure the network cards to be on a separate subnet and to have static IP addresses. You configure the cluster to use unicast.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The solution does not meet the goal because configuring the network cards on separate subnets is incorrect for NLB, which requires all hosts to be within the same subnet. Using unicast in this scenario is also inappropriate, as unicast mode requires specific network configurations that are not fulfilled by this setup.
