VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 78

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following information:
✑ Each host has 2 ֳ— 10 GbE NIC
✑ EtherChannel is not currently configured
✑ No changes can be made to the physical network
✑ Network throughput must be prioritized for defined critical services
Which two recommendations should the architect make with regard to virtual networking? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use Route Based on Physical NIC Load.
• B. Use Network I/O Control with Shares.
• C. Use Network I/O Control with Reservation.
• D. Use Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
• E. Use Network I/O Control with Limits.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers, A and B, focus on optimizing the existing 10 GbE NICs by balancing traffic based on the physical NIC load and prioritizing critical services through shares. Options C, D, and E do not align with the requirement to prioritize throughput for critical services effectively, as LACP requires physical network changes and the other options either don’t optimize load or impose limits instead of prioritizing.
