Question

Scenario: The company needs to ensure that the provisioning traffic does NOT interfere with the exisiting PXE solution. The Provisioning Services servers will be connected to a 10 Gbps network. How do multi-homed Provisioning Services servers help the company secure streaming traffic?

Options

  • AMultiple NICs separate disk and user data traffic.
  • BMultiple NICs enable disk data traffic to be encrypted with IPsec.
  • CMultiple NICs allow the necessary TCP offload settings to be configured on the streaming NIC.
  • DMultiple NICs provide multiple IP addresses that can be dedicated to streaming traffic.

Why each option

Multi-homed Provisioning Services servers utilize separate network interfaces to segment different types of network traffic, specifically isolating streaming disk data from other network communications. This separation prevents interference, optimizes performance, and enhances the security of the streaming traffic.

AMultiple NICs separate disk and user data traffic.Correct

Multiple NICs on a Provisioning Services server allow for the logical and physical separation of different traffic types, such as dedicating one NIC for streaming virtual disk data and another for management or user data, which prevents contention and ensures reliable delivery.

BMultiple NICs enable disk data traffic to be encrypted with IPsec.

The ability to encrypt traffic with IPsec is a software configuration and does not directly depend on the presence of multiple network interface cards on a server.

CMultiple NICs allow the necessary TCP offload settings to be configured on the streaming NIC.

TCP offload settings are configured per network interface for performance optimization, and the availability of multiple NICs does not inherently enable or disable this functionality.

DMultiple NICs provide multiple IP addresses that can be dedicated to streaming traffic.

While multiple NICs provide multiple IP addresses, the primary security benefit from multi-homing in this context is the physical or logical separation of traffic paths rather than merely having more IP addresses.
