Refer to the exhibit.
The exhibit shows how two NICs on a physical server connect to two HP 5820 switches. The
server supports eight virtual machines (VMs) with VMware version 5.1. The VMware standard
virtual switch is bound to NIC and NIC2. This switch implements source MAC load balancing for
the NIC team.
What is the proper configuration for ports 1/0/1 and 2/0/1?
A.
Place the ports in a bridge aggregation group that does not use LACP
B.
Place the ports in a bridge aggregation group that uses LACP
C.
Enable LACP on the individual ports
D.
Do not place the ports in a bridge aggregation group
The answer is D!
LACP is only supported in vSphere 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0 with vSphere Distributed Switches and on the Cisco Nexus 1000V.
TRUNK Mode of HP switch ports is the only supported aggregation method compatible with ESXi/ESX NIC teaming mode IP hash
The load balancing for the NIC Team is Switch independent.
