VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 7

An architect is helping an organization with the Physical Design of an NSX-T Data Center solution.
This information was gathered during a workshop about ESXi Host networking:
✑ A total of 50 ESXi hosts to be configured as Transport Nodes.
✑ All ESXi hosts have a dedicated 2 × Intel 10Gbps Physical Network adapter for the Overlay Traffic.
To achieve low latency, high throughput, redundancy, and performance, which two NIC teaming policies should the architect recommend? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Load Balance Source MAC
• B. Load Balance Port ID
• C. Load Balance Source
• D. Load Balance Source Port ID
• E. Failover Order

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct options, Load Balance Source MAC and Load Balance Source, are designed to optimize traffic and ensure effective distribution, which is crucial for the specified requirements. The other options, while valid teaming policies, do not provide the same level of performance and redundancy necessary for the given setup.
