Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 48

An administrator is tasked with configuring networking on an AHV cluster and needs to optimize for maximum single VM throughput.
Which bond mode should the administrator select?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct option, Active-Active, allows multiple links to be active simultaneously, thus increasing the throughput for a single VM. Active-Active with Mac Pinning also provides benefits but is more complex and may not be necessary for basic throughput optimization. Active-Backup and No Uplink Bond do not maximize throughput as they either rely on a single active link or disable bonding altogether.
