SG0-001 · Question #389

Network adapter teaming provides which of the following benefits? (Select TWO).

The correct answer is D. Redundancy E. Higher throughput. Network adapter teaming (NIC teaming) combines multiple physical network adapters into a single logical adapter, primarily offering increased fault tolerance and aggregated bandwidth.

Why each option

Network adapter teaming (NIC teaming) combines multiple physical network adapters into a single logical adapter, primarily offering increased fault tolerance and aggregated bandwidth.

ALonger cable distance

Cable distance is determined by cable type and networking standards, not by NIC teaming.

BDecreases latency

While teaming can improve overall network performance by increasing bandwidth, it does not inherently decrease latency at the packet level, which is more dependent on network infrastructure and packet processing time.

CLower CPU utilization

NIC teaming might slightly increase CPU utilization due to the overhead of managing multiple adapters and distributing traffic, rather than decreasing it.

DRedundancyCorrect

NIC teaming provides redundancy because if one physical adapter or its cable fails, traffic can continue to flow over the remaining adapters, preventing a network outage.

EHigher throughputCorrect

NIC teaming offers higher throughput by distributing network traffic across multiple physical adapters, effectively increasing the total bandwidth available to the server.
