What is the term for the practice of using multiple adapter cards to avoid a single point of failure and to create redundancy?

• A. Adapter Card
• B. Adapter Teaming
• C. AES
• D. Anti-Virus Software

Answer: (B)

Redundancy through multiple network adapters is achieved by forming a team of NICs into a single logical interface, a practice often called adapter teaming. By grouping several physical adapters, you gain fault tolerance: if one adapter or its path fails, traffic can continue on the remaining adapters, preventing a single point of failure. Depending on the configuration, the team can also distribute traffic across links to improve overall throughput. The other terms don’t fit because one refers to a single hardware card, while the others are unrelated security concepts (encryption standards and malware protection).
