I like C. Static IPs help with management in a controlled environment.

But B might not handle traffic efficiently. Two vNICs are safer.

I think option A is the best choice. Two vNICs make sense for traffic separation.

Option B is simpler though. One vNIC could reduce complexity.

I agree, A seems logical. Inbound and outbound should be distinct.

I remember something about trunked VLANs from my studies, but I’m not sure if that applies here. Option D sounds familiar, but I’m hesitant about the standard vNICs part.

I’m a bit confused about whether we need static IPs for the vNICs. I thought that was only necessary for certain setups, but I can't recall the details.

I practiced a similar question where we had to decide on vNIC configurations, and I feel like option A makes the most sense for managing traffic flow.

I think I remember that we need two vNICs for separating traffic, but I'm not sure if they have to be specific to Network Functions.
