You deploy AVS for Virtual Manager integration and you add a host that has five VMNICs. You must use VXLAN to maximize the load balancing of the traffic inside the fabric. How many VMKNICs must you…

Two VMKNICs would not maximize load balancing given five available VMNICs; it would underutilize the network resources.

Three VMKNICs would not maximize load balancing as effectively as four, still leaving unused capacity for VXLAN traffic.

When using AVS for Virtual Manager integration with five VMNICs on a host, and aiming to maximize VXLAN load balancing, it is recommended to dedicate four VMNICs for VXLAN traffic. This setup provides sufficient bandwidth and redundancy for data traffic while typically reserving one VMNIC for management traffic (e.g., vMotion, host management).

Eight VMKNICs is more than the five VMNICs available on the host, making it an impossible configuration in this scenario.
