Which of the following should be taken into account when designing the uplink profile and...

NIC Type Selection for Uplink & Transport Node Profile (Correct Answer - A):

Theperformance and capacity of the physical NICsimpact theoverlay and VLAN transport traffic.

High-performance NICs (25G, 40G, 100G)enhancethroughput and reduce latency.

DPU-based NICs (Data Processing Units)improve performance byoffloading packet processing.

Incorrect Options:

(B - CPU & Memory Considerations):

While CPU/memory impactoverall NSX performance,they do not determine uplink/transport profile design.

(C - Number of VMs Per Host):

VM density affects overlay traffic, butuplink profile design depends on NIC configuration.

(D - Physical Location of ESXi Hosts):

Location is important for high availability, but it does notdirectly define uplink profiles.
