An administrator wants to ensure that user VMs on AHV hosts can take advantage of...

Nutanix AHV networking supports multiple bond types that determine how traffic is distributed across physical NICs. The detailed guidance in the AHV networking section states:

“Active-Active bonding provides load distribution of outbound traffic across all interfaces in the bond, allowing aggregate throughput beyond a single physical adapter.”

Active-backup keeps only one NIC active at a time and provides no throughput gain. Active-Active with MAC pinning distributes VMs across NICs but does not aggregate the total throughput for a single VM and is typically used with switch-independent designs.

Because the requirement is to “take advantage of bandwidth beyond a single adapter,” only the standard Active-Active bond type satisfies this, as it truly aggregates available bandwidth.

Therefore, the correct bond type is Active-Active.
