* 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
