Refer to the exhibit.

What is true about the network uplink ports?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In Nutanix, all the network uplink ports are connected, but only two of them are carrying traffic at any given time. This is done to provide redundancy and failover in case one of the ports fails. The two ports that are carrying traffic are chosen based on the link aggregation policy configured. The link aggregation policy can be configured to use either Active-Active or Active-Backup mode. In Active-Active mode, both ports are active and carrying traffic, while in Active-Backup mode, only one port is active and carrying traffic, the other port is on standby.

I doubt they're both active at the same time.

I think one is 1GbE and the other is 10GbE.

Active-Backup mode seems more likely here.

Wait, are all ports really connected? That’s surprising!

Active-Active mode sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that's the default configuration for uplink ports. I guess I need to think this through more.

I feel like I read that all ports can be connected, but only a couple actually handle traffic. That could be what’s happening in this case.

I think we practiced a question similar to this where the ports were in Active-Backup mode. That might be the right answer here too.

I remember something about uplink ports, but I'm not sure if they can be both 1GbE and 10GbE at the same time. That seems a bit off.

This is a tricky one, but I think I've got a strategy. I'll start by identifying the key information in the image, then match that up with the answer choices to find the best fit. Gotta stay focused here.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The image doesn't provide a lot of detail, and the answer choices seem similar. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and try to eliminate the options that don't seem to fit.

Okay, I see the two uplink ports, one at 1GbE and the other at 10GbE. I think the answer is probably A, since that matches what I'm seeing in the image.

The image shows two uplink ports, so I'm guessing the answer has to do with how they are configured. I'll need to think about the different modes like active-backup and active-active.

Hmm, this looks like a networking question. I'll need to carefully examine the image and the answer choices to determine the correct configuration of the uplink ports.

Haha, I bet the IT guy who set this up was just messing with us. 'Let's make it as confusing as possible, that'll really stump 'em!'

This is making my head spin. Why would they have one port at 1GbE and the other at 10GbE? That just seems like a recipe for disaster.

Why do you think having different speeds for the uplink ports is a bad idea?

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm pretty sure they're in Active-Active mode, not Active-Backup. Gotta be option D.

I think the correct answer is C. All the ports are connected, but only two are carrying traffic. That's the most logical explanation for the setup.

The network uplink ports are definitely in Active-Backup mode. That's the only way it makes sense with one being 1GbE and the other 10GbE.
