CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
A systems administrator is cabling a new virtualization host that has four 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces. Two top-of-rack switches are installed in the same rack and have been configured as a single virtual chassis that supports cross-stack LACP. The project notes state:
- The host must stay online if any single NIC, cable, or switch fails.
- During normal operation the host should be able to use the combined bandwidth of all links.
- The cabling run count should be kept as low as possible.
Which of the following cabling plans BEST meets these requirements?
Connect one NIC to switch A and one NIC to switch B in a switch-independent active/standby team; reserve the remaining NICs for other networks.
Cable two NICs to switch A, leave the other two as passive standbys, and configure an active/standby team.
Split the four 10 GbE ports evenly between the two stack members and place all links in a single LACP port-channel.
Attach all four 10 GbE ports to switch A only and create a four-member LACP port-channel.
