VMware Certified Technical Associate (VCTA) Practice Exam

The correct choice is NIC Teaming. This feature allows an administrator to group multiple physical network adapter interfaces (uplinks) into a single logical interface. By doing so, NIC Teaming provides both load balancing and failover capabilities, ensuring that network traffic can be efficiently distributed across the available uplinks. This improves performance and enhances redundancy, as traffic can continue to flow even if one of the adapters fails.

In contrast, while VLANs are essential for segregating network traffic and managing broadcast domains, they do not directly relate to the concept of load balancing among uplinks. The Distributed Port Group facilitates the management of virtual machine networking in a vSphere distributed switch, grouping ports for easier administration, but it does not manage the actual uplink load distribution.

The Host Proxy Switch is a feature related to managing network traffic in specific environments but does not directly provide the load-balancing capabilities needed for multiple uplink adapters. Therefore, NIC Teaming is the most appropriate and effective choice for the task of associating multiple uplink adapters to share the load of network traffic.
