You have a virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server 2016. VM1 hosts a service that requires
high network throughput.
VM1 has a virtual network adapter that connects to a Hyper-V switch named vSwitch1. vSwitch1 has one
network adapter. The network adapter supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RMDA), the single root I/O
virtualization (SR-IOV) interface, Quality of Service (QoS), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS).
You need to ensure that the traffic from VM1 can be processed by multiple networking processors.
Which Windows PowerShell command should you run in the host of VM1?
A.
Set-NetAdapterRss
B.
Set-NetAdapterRdma
C.
Set-NetAdapterSriov
D.
Set-NetAdapterQoS
Explanation:
The Set-NetAdapterRss cmdlet sets the receive side scaling (RSS) properties on a network adapter. RSS is a
scalability technology that distributes the receive network traffic among multiple processors by hashing the
header of the incoming packet. Without RSS Windows Server 2012/2016; network traffic is received on the first
processor which can quickly reach full utilization limiting receive network throughput. Many properties can be
configured using the parameters to optimize the performance of RSS. The selection of the processors to use
for RSS is an important aspect of load balancing. Most of the parameters for this cmdlet help to determine the
processors used by RSS.
