An administrator is tasked with configuring networking on an AHV cluster and wants to maximize throughput for the host with many small VMs while minimizing network switch configuration.
Which bond mode should the administrator select?

Answer options

• A. Active-Active
• B. Active-Backup
• C. No Uplink Bond
• D. Active-Active with Mac Pinning

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Active-Active with Mac Pinning, because it effectively utilizes multiple network interfaces for higher throughput while maintaining optimal configuration for the virtual machines. The other options do not provide the same level of performance or require more configuration on the network switches.
