VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 32

An ESXi host is limited to two 1GbE physical NICs to support VM traffic.
Which VDS teaming policy should be chosen to ensure maximum availability across both uplinks?

Answer options

• A. Route Based on IP Hash
• B. Route Based on Originating Virtual Port
• C. Route Based on Physical NIC Load
• D. Route Based on Source MAC

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, 'Route Based on Physical NIC Load', allows for effective distribution of traffic across the available uplinks, thus optimizing availability. The other options either focus on different attributes that do not prioritize load balancing or do not effectively utilize both NICs, which could lead to potential traffic bottlenecks.
