Which of the following precisely specify the purpose of using redundant NICs on a server?
  1. To reduce network traffic.
  2. To increase the speed of the server.
  3. To keep the network available in the event that one NIC fails.
  4. To reduce the amount of data loss when packets are transferred.
Explanation
Answer - C - Redundant NICs are used to keep the network available or up in case the operational NIC fails.

Key Takeaway: Redundant NICs provide fault tolerance for the network connection. If one of the network cards fails, the other keeps the network available. This is one of the standard ways of ensuring a high uptime for a server. The only requirement is that the server should support multiple NICs.
