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?
Cable two NICs to switch A, leave the other two as passive standbys, and configure an active/standby team.
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.
Attach all four 10 GbE ports to switch A only and create a four-member LACP port-channel.
Split the four 10 GbE ports evenly between the two stack members and place all links in a single LACP port-channel.
