Networking with Windows Server 2016 — Question 132

You have a virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server 2016. VM1 hosts a service that requires high network throughput.
VM1 has a virtual network adapter that connects to a Hyper-V switch named vSwitch1. vSwitch1 has one network adapter. The network adapter supports Remote
Direct Memory Access (RDMA), the single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) interface, Quality of Service (QoS), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS).
You need to ensure that the traffic from VM1 can be processed by multiple networking processors.
Which Windows PowerShell command should you run on the host of VM1?

Answer options

• A. Set-NetAdapterRss
• B. Set-NetAdapterRdma
• C. Set-NetAdapterQos
• D. Set-NetAdapterSriov

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct command is Set-NetAdapterRss, which enables Receive Side Scaling on the network adapter, allowing it to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple processors. The other options, while relevant to different aspects of network performance or functionality, do not specifically address the need for processing traffic across multiple networking processors.
