Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA: Windows Server 2016 — Question 93

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. You install the Hyper-V role on Server1. Server1 has eight network adapters that are dedicated to virtual machines.
The network adapters are Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)-enabled.
You plan to use Software Defined Networking (SDN). You will host the virtual machines for multiple tenants on the Hyper-V host.
You need to ensure that the network connections for the virtual machines are resilient if one or more physical network adapters fail.
What should you implement?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Switch Embedded Teaming (SET), which allows for the integration of virtual switches and NIC teaming, enhancing resiliency for virtual machine network connections. Option A, NIC teaming, is not as effective in this scenario as SET specifically addresses SDN environments. Options B and D, vRSS and SR-IOV respectively, focus on performance improvements but do not provide the required resilience against adapter failures.
