Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 48

An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:
✑ Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps
✑ Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of them at a time
✑ Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time
✑ Multicast will not be used in the environment
✑ The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections
How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as configuring bond0 as balance-sib allows for efficient use of the available bandwidth while maintaining simplicity in the switch configuration. Options B, C, and D introduce unnecessary complexity or do not adequately utilize the network capacity given the low likelihood of high simultaneous VM traffic.
