VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 59

An architect is responsible for designing a vSphere-based solution for a customer. The customer has the following requirement:
There should be no single points of failure within the solution.
Which three considerations regarding physical host design should an architect analyze when making network teaming-related design decisions? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. NIC Teaming requires a minimum of three physical network connections.
• B. For NIC Teaming, all NICs in the same port group must be in the same layer 2 broadcast domain.
• C. To increase performance, the NICs within a NIC team should be from the same physical NIC Card.
• D. To increase availability, the NICs within a NIC team should be from different physical NIC Cards.
• E. NIC Teaming requires a minimum of two physical network connections.
• F. For NIC Teaming, all NICs in the same port group must be in the same routable network.

Correct answer: B, D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B, D, and E because they address the fundamental requirements for effective NIC teaming to avoid single points of failure. Option B ensures that all NICs are within the same broadcast domain, which is essential for proper communication. Option D emphasizes the need for NICs to come from different physical NIC Cards to enhance availability, while option E is correct as NIC Teaming requires a minimum of two connections. Options A and C are incorrect as they either state incorrect connection requirements or suggest performance improvements that are not relevant for redundancy.
