QuestionQ10

Manage VMs within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator wants to ensure that user VMs on AHV hosts can use bandwidth available beyond a single adapter in a bond.

Which uplink Bond Type should the administrator configure to achieve this objective?

  • A Active-Active
  • B No Uplink Bond
  • C Active-Active With MAC pinning
  • D Active-Backup
Explanation

Active-Active, also known as LACP with balance-tcp, balances a VM NIC’s TCP and UDP sessions among the bonded adapters. This increases both host and VM NIC bandwidth utilization beyond the capacity of one physical adapter. Active-Active with MAC pinning can increase aggregate host utilization, but pins each VM NIC to a single adapter at a time.
