vSphere Networking Flashcards
“Virtual Switch Port-Based Load Balancing”
assigns each virtual switch port to a specific uplink.
Failover occurs when a physical network adapters fails
“Source MAC-Based Load Balancing”
ties a virtual network adapter to a physical network adapter based on the MAC address
“IP Hash-Based Load Balancing”
“The IP hash-based policy is a more scalable load-balancing policy that allows VMs to use more than one physical network adapter when communicating with multiple destination hosts.”
“Failover Detection and Failover Policy”
“The beacon-probing failover-detection policy sends beacons out across the physical network adapters of a NIC team to identify upstream network failures or switch misconfigurations.”
