Which Windows PowerShell command should you run in the …

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.
