What is one of the three NIC teaming modes available?

• A. Dynamic Mode
• B. Static Teaming
• C. IPSec Mode
• D. Unmanaged Mode

Answer: (B)

Static Teaming is one of the three NIC teaming modes available. In Static Teaming, network interface cards (NICs) are combined to form a single logical NIC, which offers redundancy and increased performance. This mode is configured manually by the administrator, requiring an explicit setup on both the server and the corresponding network switches. The primary goal of Static Teaming is to increase bandwidth by distributing traffic across multiple physical NICs and to provide fault tolerance.

In contrast, the other modes, such as Dynamic Mode, often require additional management that automatically adjusts to traffic conditions, while options like IPSec and Unmanaged Mode do not pertain to NIC teaming configurations as understood in standard network management.
