Question 9
An administrator is performing validation testing of a newly deployed cluster. During this test, the administrator disconnects each LAN interface from each of the nodes while pinging the hypervisor and guest VMs. When the first interface is disconnected, pings continue as expected to the hypervisor, but pings stop responding from the guest. Pings continue when the interface is reconnected. When the second interface is disconnected, pings continue to both the hypervisor and guest VMs. What could be the cause of this error?
A. One of the network interfaces has a bad patch cable
