When an explicit failover order has been configured on a virtual switch with multiple uplinks, what determines which uplink is used when a failover event occurs?
A. The first available uplink that reports a positive link state
B. The reported uptime for the surviving uplinks
C. The next available uplink on the list
D. The uplink with the shortest route
Correct Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Explicit failover order :: Uplinks in same Layer 2 domain on all trunked VLANs :: highest-order uplink from the list of active adapters that pass failover detection. If one link fails, the next link from the list of standby adapters is activated.

Note: If explicit failover had NOT been configured the answer would be "The reported uptime for the surviving uplinks"
