An administrator is creating a vNetwork Standard Switch with Service Console and VMkernel networking. The administrator has two uplinks attached to the switch, but wants to separate the Service Console and VMkernel traffic to the two uplinks. Which of the following Load Balancing Policies will guarantee this, even if additional management or virtual machine traffic is added to the switch in the future?
A.
Use Explicit Failover
B.
Route based on IP hash
C.
Route based on source MAC hash
D.
Route based on the originating port ID
Explanation:
Load Balancing – Specify how to choose an uplink.
Route based on the originating port ID – Choose an uplink based on the virtual port where the traffic entered the virtual switch.
Route based on ip hash – Choose an uplink based on a hash of the source and destination IP addresses of each packet. For non-IP packets, whatever is at those offsets is used to compute the hash.
Route based on source MAC hash – Choose an uplink based on a hash of the source Ethernet.
Use explicit failover order – Always use the highest order uplink from the list of Active adapters which passes failover detection criteria.
