MD-100 Exam - Question 236


You have 15 computers that run Windows 10. Each computer has two network interfaces named Interface1 and Interface2.

You need to ensure that network traffic uses Interface1, unless Interface1 is unavailable.

What should you do?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To ensure that network traffic uses Interface1 unless it is unavailable, you need to prioritize Interface1 over Interface2. This can be achieved by setting the interface metric of Interface1 to a lower value than that of Interface2. The Set-NetIPInterface command with the -InterfaceMetric parameter allows you to specify the metric value for a network interface. By setting the metric for Interface1 to 1, you ensure that it has a higher priority over Interface2. Therefore, running the Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceAlias Interface1 -InterfaceMetric 1 command will accomplish the required objective.

Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceIndex "13" -InterfaceMetric "10" Adapters with a lower InterfaceMetric number are prioritized over adapters that have a higher number. Use the command Get-NetIPInterface to list the adapter information table again to verify the change.

A would be correct if the interfacemetric 1 happens to point to a different network. If not the answer would be D.
