Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Multiple network interfaces on the initiator
MPIO requires multiple network paths between initiator and target, multiple network interfaces (or HBAs) on the initiator, and multiple target portals (IP addresses) on the storage array. A single session cannot leverage MPIO.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Multiple network interfaces on the initiator
Why this is correct
Needed to create multiple paths.

CHAP is optional; MPIO does not depend on authentication.

Jumbo frames enabled
Why it's wrong here
Jumbo frames are optional, not required for MPIO.
