SK0-003 · Question #921
Which of the following allows two NICs to share one IP address and continue to operate in the event of a single NIC failure?
The correct answer is B. NIC teaming. NIC teaming allows multiple network interface cards to be combined into a single logical interface, providing both increased bandwidth and fault tolerance by sharing one IP address.

Why each option
NIC teaming allows multiple network interface cards to be combined into a single logical interface, providing both increased bandwidth and fault tolerance by sharing one IP address.
NIC redundancy is a general concept; NIC teaming is a specific technology that implements NIC redundancy.
NIC teaming, also known as Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO), aggregates multiple network adapter ports to provide fault tolerance and performance improvements. It ensures that if one NIC fails, the other NICs in the team can continue to handle network traffic for the same IP address, maintaining connectivity.
DHCP forwarding is a network service that relays DHCP requests between subnets and does not relate to NIC fault tolerance.
A hot-swappable NIC allows a card to be replaced while the system is running but does not inherently provide fault tolerance for network connectivity if the active card fails before replacement.
