CompTIA SK0-005 Exam - Topic 2 Question 79 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam

Question #: 79
Topic #: 2

A server administrator has received calls regarding latency and performance issues with a file server. After reviewing all logs and server features the administrator discovers the server came with four Ethernet ports, out only one port is currently in use. Which of the following features will enable the use of all available ports using a single IP address?

ANetwork address translation

Bin-band management

CRound robin

DNIC teaming

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

NIC teaming is a feature that allows the use of multiple network interface cards (NICs) as a single logical interface with a single IP address. It can improve the network performance, bandwidth, and redundancy of a server. Verified Reference: [NIC teaming], [Network interface card]

Wait, can you really use all ports with just one IP? Sounds too good to be true.

Round robin won't help here, it's not the right feature.

I keep mixing up in-band management and NIC teaming. I know in-band is for managing devices, but I can't recall if it relates to using multiple Ethernet ports.

I think I came across a practice question similar to this, and it was definitely about NIC teaming. It seems like the best option for this scenario.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like round robin is more about load balancing rather than using multiple ports with a single IP.

I remember studying about NIC teaming, which allows multiple network interfaces to work together as one. I think that might be the answer here.

This is a good question that tests our understanding of network management features. Based on the information provided, I think the answer is NIC teaming. That allows you to aggregate multiple Ethernet ports into a single logical interface, which seems like the right solution for this scenario.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know there are ways to use multiple network interfaces, but I'm not sure which one is the best fit here. I'll have to review my notes on network configuration to see if I can figure this out.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know there are different network configuration options, but I'm not sure which one specifically allows using all available ports with a single IP. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about network configuration. I think the key is to identify the feature that allows using multiple Ethernet ports with a single IP address.

Haha, I bet the server came with those extra ports just to confuse the IT staff. NIC teaming is definitely the way to go though.

I was tempted to go with round robin, but NIC teaming makes more sense for utilizing all those unused ports. Good catch, administrator!
