A customer has an ESXi Cluster with two 10GbE NICs on each node with the following requirements:

* Solution must follow Nutanix Best Practices

* Network configuration should be redundant

* A vSphere Standard Switch must be utilized

Which load balancing method should be used?

A.
Route based on originating port ID
Answers
A.
Route based on originating port ID
B.
Route based on physical NIC load
Answers
B.
Route based on physical NIC load
C.
Route based on IP hash
Answers
C.
Route based on IP hash
D.
Route based on source MAC hash
Answers
D.
Route based on source MAC hash
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

According to Nutanix best practices for ESXi clusters, using a vSphere Standard Switch with 'Route based on originating port ID' is recommended for load balancing. This method ensures that the same virtual port ID within a vSwitch uses the same uplink from the vSwitch. This load balancing policy provides an even distribution of traffic and redundancy by utilizing both NICs effectively without requiring any specific physical switch configurations, such as EtherChannel or LACP.

Reference: The Nutanix Bible, NCS-Core 6.8 course content, and VMware's documentation on vSphere Standard Switch load balancing methods.
