Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 1

Which best practice should be followed when creating a bond in a Nutanix cluster?

Answer options

• A. Place NICs of different speeds within the same bond
• B. Configure the bond to use LACP
• C. Only utilize NICs of the same speed within the same bond
• D. Use the default bond configuration after installation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using NICs of the same speed ensures optimal performance and avoids potential issues with bandwidth aggregation. Options A and B are incorrect as they either lead to performance inconsistencies or do not align with best practices. Option D is not advisable since the default settings may not meet specific requirements for performance and redundancy.
