Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 109

You have Hyper-V host named Server1.
Server1 has a network adapter that has virtual machine queue (VMQ) enabled. The network adapter connects at 10 Gbps and has an IPV4 address.
Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 has a single network adapter and four processors.
You need to distribute the network processing load across the VM1 processors.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From Device Manager on Server1, configure TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4).
• B. From Windows PowerShell on VM1, run the Enable-NetAdapterRSS cmdlet.
• C. From Windows PowerShell on Server1, run the Enable-NetAdapterPacketDirect cmdlet.
• D. From Windows PowerShell on VM1, run the Enable-NetAdapterPacketDirect cmdlet.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because running the Enable-NetAdapterRSS cmdlet on VM1 enables Receive Side Scaling, which allows network traffic to be distributed across the available processors in the virtual machine. Options A, C, and D do not specifically address distributing the network processing load across the processors of VM1, and therefore would not achieve the desired outcome.
