Ethernet Bonding, the grouping of two or more physical connections logically to the same network for faster data transmission

• A. NIC Teaming
• B. Network Settings
• C. NetBIOS
• D. Nonrepudiation

Answer: (A)

Grouping two or more physical network connections into a single logical link to increase throughput and provide redundancy is NIC teaming. When you enable NIC teaming, multiple network interface cards on a device present as one virtual interface to the operating system, and traffic can be distributed across the member links or switched to a backup link if one fails. This mirrors Ethernet Bonding in many environments and often works with switch-side support via link aggregation standards like LACP to balance load. The other options don’t describe this capability: NetBIOS is a name resolution/service feature, Nonrepudiation is a security concept about proving the origin of data, and Network Settings is just a generic collection of configurations, not the specific technique of combining multiple NICs for speed and redundancy.
