VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 21

If a distributed switch uses the “Route based on physical NIC load” load balancing algorithm, what does the mean send or receive utilization of an uplink need to exceed for the flow of traffic to move to the second uplink?

Answer options

• A. 75 percent of the capacity over a 30 second period
• B. 60 percent of the capacity over a 30 second period
• C. 60 percent of the capacity over a 40 second period
• D. 75 percent of the capacity over a 40 second period

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the 'Route based on physical NIC load' algorithm requires that the uplink's utilization exceeds 75 percent of its capacity over a 30-second interval to trigger the traffic to switch to the second uplink. Options B and C set lower thresholds that do not meet the criteria, and option D uses an incorrect time period for the 75 percent threshold.
