To provide a VM on an AHV Cluster with access to multiple VLANs efficiently, updating a vNIC on the VM to operate in trunked mode for all desired VLANs is the best approach. Trunking allows a single vNIC to handle traffic for multiple VLANs, which is more efficient than configuring multiple vNICs or using special hardware like SFPs. This minimizes resource usage and simplifies management.
I think that the NCA exam have a similar question, and the correct answer was 2 vnics, one for vlan. A and D are correct, but was it the most correct?
A is the good one as per the information i found in the following link, that mention that instead of configuring vNICS per vland we can configure A vNIC on the VM to operate in trunk mode https://next.nutanix.com/virtual-desktop-infrastructure-28/configuring-a-virtual-nic-to-operate-in-access-or-trunk-mode-33171
i think that depends if the OS and application supports trunked vlans. Most frecuently are configured with 2 nics, so i think that D could be the most correct.
