During Foundation using a customer-provided network switch, a consultant is facing time-out issues.

ACheck jumbo frames support of the network switch.

BEnsure the firmware of network switch is updated.

CEnable queue depth on ports connected to nodes.

DDisable STP on ports connected to Nutanix nodes.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

To resolve inconsistent network speeds from the VMs on an AHV host equipped with both 10G and 25G NICs, the consultant should configure all network interfaces with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the same virtual switch. This configuration will allow for better load balancing and bandwidth aggregation across multiple network interfaces, improving overall network throughput and reducing bottlenecks. Reference:

Wait, we're supposed to fix time-outs, not create new black holes in the network. I'll pass on the STP option, thanks.

Jumbo frames? That's a new one for me. Might as well check it out with option A, can't hurt.

Option D sounds interesting, but I'm not sure disabling STP is the best idea. Gotta be careful with that one.
