What is the best way to configure the iDRAC?

A technician needs to connect a server to a network but the network switch has only two available network ports so only two network cables can be connected. The user needs as much bandwidth as possible for their workload so the two network cables need to connect to LOM1 and LOM2.

At some point in the future a new network switch will enable additional cables to be used. The technician wants to satisfy the user requirements yet still be able to access the iDRAC without having to reconfigure the iDRAC once new cables are installed in the iDRAC Dedicated NIC.

What is the best way to configure the iDRAC?
A . Use a splitter cable in one of the network switch ports to connect the same cable to both LOM1 and the iDRAC dedicated NIC
B . Use a splitter cable in one of the network switch ports to connect the same cable to both LOM1 and LOM2 with the second network cable connecting to the iDRAC dedicated NIC
C . Set up a dedicated NIC with LOM1 as the NIC selection
D . Set up a shared NIC with LOM1 as the NIC selection with Auto Dedicated NIC selected

Answer: D
