A server administrator is taking advantage of all the available bandwidth of the four NICs on the server. Which of the following NIC-teaming technologies should the server administrator utilize?
he correct answer is: D. Link aggregation
✅ Explanation:
Link aggregation (also known as NIC teaming or port trunking) combines multiple network interfaces (NICs) into a single logical interface to:
Increase bandwidth (i.e., use the combined capacity of all NICs)
Provide redundancy in case one NIC fails
Since the goal is to take advantage of all the available bandwidth, link aggregation is the right choice.
the answer is correct because
Link aggregation increases bandwidth, provides graceful degradation as failure occurs, increases availability and provides load-balancing capabilities. Load balancing enables the device to divide incoming and outgoing traffic along multiple interfaces to reduce congestion in the network.
C. Load balancing
Load balancing NIC-teaming technology allows the server to distribute network traffic across multiple network interfaces (NICs) to take advantage of all available bandwidth. This results in increased network throughput and improved performance. Load balancing distributes incoming network traffic evenly across the active NICs, preventing any single NIC from becoming a bottleneck.
No, Load Balancing and NIC-teaming are two different sections in the CompTIA Server+ student guide. Under the NIC-teaming section Link Aggregation is listed and directly applies to the bandwidth scenario.
