A Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host server has four network adapters that are connected to two different
network switches, server contains a virtual machinenamed
NYC-WEB.
You have the following requirements:
increase the available bandwidth for NYC-WEB
implement network fault tolerance for NYC-WEB without modifying network switch configurations
use the least amount of administrative effort
You need to configure the Hyper-V environment. Whatshould you do first?
A.
Enable NIC teaming. Configure the team to use Static Teaming mode.
B.
Enable NIC teaming. Configure the team to use Switch Independent mode.
C.
Enable Bandwidth Management on NYC-WEB.
D.
Run the Windows PowerShell command Set-NetLbfoTeam -Name Team1 – TeamingMode Static.
NIC Teaming can be configured in either a “Switch Independent” mode or a “Switch Dependent” mode.
When configuring NIC Teaming in “Switch Independent” mode, the teaming configuration will work with any Ethernet switches – even non-intelligent switches – because Windows Server 2012 handles all of the intelligence with this NIC teaming mode. No special configuration changes are necessary. You can even use this mode to team across separate switches in scenarios that require switch diversity for extra network fault tolerance.

Agreed that the answer is B.
