What are two network load-balancing policies for a vSphere Distributed Switch? (Choose two.)
A. Route based on source MAC hash
B. Route using physical NIC load
C. Route based on the destination virtual port ID
D. Route based on port ID hash
Correct Answer: AB
Explanation/Reference:
Route based on the originating virtual port - Choose an uplink based on the virtual port where the traffic entered the distributed switch.
Route based on ip hash - Choose an uplink based on a hash of the source and destination IP addresses of each packet. For non-IP packets, whatever is at those offsets is used to compute the hash.
Route based on source MAC hash - Choose an uplink based on a hash of the source Ethernet.
Route based on physical NIC load - Choose an uplink based on the current loads of physical NICs. Use explicit failover order - Always use the highest order uplink from the list of Active adapters which passes failover detection criteria.
