A vSphere Standard Switch has been configured for IP-based load balancing using two uplinks. A
new uplink is added to the vswitch. What additional configuration is required by default?

A.
The uplink is placed in standby mode until it is added to the active NIC team.

B.
The uplink is considered active, but it will not participate in the active NIC team until assigned to
a port group.

C.
The physical switch must add the new port to the existing 802.3ad group.

D.
The uplink is automatically marked as unused when it is added to IP-based NIC team.

Explanation:

For 802.3ad group, you need to add a physical switch to make sure it works properly. The switch
must be set to perform 802.3ad link aggregation in static mode ON and the virtual switch must
have its load balancing method set to Route based on IP hash. Ensure that the participating NICs
are connected to the ports configured on the same physical switch.
