Quiz 20B: Explain Virtualization and Storage Area Network Techno

What is a primary characteristic of a Type II hypervisor?

• It is installed directly onto the host hardware.

• It manages access to the host hardware without going through a host OS.

• It is installed within a native OS, and guest OSes are installed within it.

• It requires only the base system requirements for the hypervisor.

Which virtualization technology involves installing a Type I hypervisor directly onto the computer hardware?

• VMware Workstation

• Oracle VirtualBox

• Microsoft Hyper-V

• VMware ESXi Server

How are virtual NICs (vNICs) configured within a virtual machine?

• They are presented as hardware devices to the guest OS.

• They are configurable in the same way as physical NICs.

• They require physical hardware, firmware, and driver software.

• They are implemented as a combination of physical hardware and software.

What is the function of a virtual switch in a virtualized environment?

• To manage access to the host hardware

• To configure network protocols and services

• To emulate standard hardware platforms for VMs

• To connect virtual network adapters in guest VMs

Which type of virtual switch in Microsoft's Hyper-V allows VMs to communicate on the physical network?

• External

• Internal

What is a potential consequence of a failure in the physical network link for VMs using an external virtual switch?

• No impact on VMs

• Complete isolation of VMs

• Slow network performance for VMs

• Loss of connectivity for VMs

What functionality can virtual switches provide beyond basic connectivity?

• VLAN implementation

• Physical network emulation

• Firmware and driver management

• Load balancing and fault tolerance

What is Network Function Virtualization (NFV) primarily concerned with?

• Allocating computing resources to virtual appliances

• Specifying and deploying instances of virtual appliances

• Implementing advanced network switching technologies

• Positioning virtual appliances within workflows

How are MAC addresses for virtual NICs configured in a virtual switch environment?

• They are assigned by the physical NIC of the host computer.

• They are randomly generated by the hypervisor.

• They are configured manually by the network administrator.

• They are configured via the hypervisor.

What protocol enables the transfer of SCSI data over an IP-based network?

• Fibre Channel

• FCoE
