VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 20

Which virtual switch load balancing method should be used when teaming network interfaces with EtherChannel?

Answer options

• A. Route based on originating virtual port.
• B. Route based on IP hash.
• C. Route based on physical NIC load.
• D. Route based on source MAC hash.
• E. Use explicit failover order.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as routing based on IP hash allows the distribution of traffic across multiple physical links, which is essential for EtherChannel. The other options either do not support load balancing effectively or are not suitable for scenarios involving EtherChannel, such as explicit failover order or routing based on MAC addresses.
