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 static IP addresses. You configure the cluster to use unicast.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The proposed solution meets the requirements for configuring an NLB cluster because having the network cards on the same subnet and assigning static IP addresses ensures that they can communicate effectively. Additionally, using unicast is a valid method for NLB, allowing the servers to share a single IP address for load balancing.
