You want to put two FlexNlCs into a single Link Aggregation Group within a server profile. What Is a prerequisite for this setup?

Question

Options

• AThe sFlow option must be enabled and configured.
• BBoth FlexNlCs must be connected to the same network.
• CThe Compute Module profile must have exactly two connections defined.
• DAn upgrade license must be purchased and deployed.

• A
  73% (36)
• B
  8% (4)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  14% (7)

Explanation

Enabling sFlow is a platform-level prerequisite in HPE Virtual Connect/Synergy environments - without it active, the switch fabric cannot support the hash-based traffic distribution that LAG depends on, so the LAG option simply won't be available to configure in the server profile. Option B is wrong because LAG actually enables combining connections across networks for bandwidth and redundancy - requiring the same network would defeat the purpose. Option C is wrong because the number of connections in a profile is not constrained to exactly two; you can have more or fewer depending on your design. Option D is wrong because LAG for FlexNICs is a standard feature in these platforms, not a separately licensed add-on.

Memory tip: Think "sFlow before you Go (LAG)" - the monitoring protocol must be switched on first before the aggregation feature unlocks.
