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 the same subnet and to have dynamic IP addresses. You configure the cluster to use multicast.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The proposed solution does not meet the goal because NLB requires static IP addresses for the servers in the cluster and should typically use unicast mode for proper operation. Using dynamic IP addresses and multicast does not comply with best practices, which is why the correct answer is 'No'.
