How does NIC teaming provide fault tolerance at the host level?

By automatically failing over to another NIC in the team if one NIC fails

By using a virtual switch to replace physical NICs

By using a single high-performance NIC that is less likely to fail

By storing network configuration in a redundant location

A server has four 1 Gbps NICs connected to a switch. The administrator wants to create a logical link that provides up to 4 Gbps throughput and tolerates the failure of one NIC. What should be configured?

A virtual IP address on the server

Link aggregation (bonding) with all four NICs

A network engineer is troubleshooting a network where broadcast storms are occurring due to redundant links between switches. The engineer wants to eliminate the loops while keeping the redundant links available for failover. What should be enabled?

Link aggregation on all switch ports

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)

What is the purpose of a virtual IP (VIP) address in a clustered configuration?

To encrypt all traffic destined to the cluster

To replace the need for physical network adapters

To provide a single, stable address that can move between cluster nodes during failover

To increase the bandwidth of the cluster's network connection

A virtualized host has two physical NICs connected to two different switches. The administrator wants to provide redundancy and load balancing for all virtual machines (VMs) on the host. What should be configured?

A virtual switch with a single uplink

NIC teaming with failover and load-balancing modes
