An administrator wants to ensure that user VMs on AHV hosts can take advantage of bandwidth beyond a single adapter in a bond. Which uplink Bond Type…

Active-Active bonding allows multiple network interfaces to be used simultaneously, improving

bandwidth and redundancy.

Option B (Active-Active) is correct:

This mode enables load balancing across all available adapters, providing higher throughput and fault

tolerance.

Option A (No Uplink Bond) is incorrect:

Without a bond, VMs cannot benefit from multiple adapters.

Option C (Active-Active with MAC pinning) is incorrect:

MAC pinning binds traffic to a single NIC, limiting bandwidth distribution.

Option D (Active-Backup) is incorrect:

This mode only provides failover, not increased bandwidth.
