A _______, like its physical counterpart, is a device that functions at layer 2 of the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model.
answer
virtual switch
question
How does an administrator set up a new virtual network adapter to communicate on a network VLAN?
answer
Select Enable virtual LAN identification and enter a VLAN identifier to associate the network adapter to the VLAN.
question
For virtual network adapters, Hyper-V assigns a value up to 256 to create individual MAC addresses. What happens if this is not sufficient?
answer
If more than 256 adapters are needed, an administrator can modify the MAC address pool to be larger.
question
How do virtual network adapters running on a child partition communicate with the parent partition?
answer
Synthetic adapters communicate by using the VMBus; emulated adapters communicate by making calls to the hypervisor.
question
How many network interfaces does Microsoft recommend be installed in a Hyper-V server?
answer
Two physical adapters; one adapter servicing the parent partition and the other to the child partitions
question
A(n) ______ is a virtual device that communicates with the parent partition by using a high-speed conduit called the VMBus.
answer
synthetic network adapter
question
Virtual network adapters in Windows Server 2012 R2 can support some hardware acceleration features. Select which one they do NOT support.
answer
MAC address caching
question
What is the key benefit for creating a virtual switch?
answer
Virtual switches have unlimited ports, so there's no need to connect physical switches by uplinks or crossover circuits.
question
How many virtual network adapters can be created on a Hyper-V server?
answer
Up to 12 network adapters-8 synthetic and 4 emulated
question
When creating a virtual switch by Hyper-V, how many virtualized ports are available?
answer
Unlimited
question
Which of the two types of virtual network adapters, synthetic or emulated, is called the legacy adapter and why?
answer
Emulated is called the legacy adapter because it is a standard network adapter driver and communicates more slowly.
question
How many MAC addresses are available for virtual network adapters, created by Hyper-V?
answer
256
question
Sometimes called a legacy adapter, the _______ is a standard network adapter driver that communicates with the parent partition by making calls directly to the hypervisor.
answer
emulated network adapter
question
What is the maximum number of NICs used in NIC teaming for Hyper-V virtual machines?
answer
2
question
In Hyper-V terminology, what do you call a virtual switch configured to provide connections external to the Hyper-V environment?
answer
External network switch
question
Which of the following features are supported by the NIC team with Hyper-V virtual machines running in Windows Server 2012 R2?
answer
-Redundancy
- Aggregated bandwidth
question
What is the difference between an external virtual switch and an internal virtual switch?
answer
An internal switch doesn't allow child partition VMs to access the external network, but they can on an external switch.
question
After creating a private virtual switch, what servers can communicate to each other?
answer
Only VMs on the child partitions can communicate with each other only.
question
When using NIC teaming with Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machines, which of the following tasks must be completed? (Choose two answers.)
answer
-Configure a NIC team virtual network adapter.
-Create a team virtual switch.
question
Creating a new virtual switch automatically connects the host operating system with the child partition VMs by default. What setting can be changed during virtual switch creation to disconnect the host OS?
answer
Allow management operating system to share this network adapter
question
In which version of Windows was NIC teaming allowed for Hyper-V virtual machines?
answer
Windows Server 2012 R2
question
Every network adapter has a hardware address. What is the common name for it and how long is it?
answer
Media Access Control (MAC) address, 6 bytes
question
The synthetic network adapter in the child partition is a(n) ________.
answer
synthetic network adapter
question
What is the difference between a private virtual switch and an internal virtual switch?
answer
Private switch allows communication between child partition VMs only, whereas an internal includes the parent partition.
question
Select the PowerShell cmdlet with basic syntax if you want to create a private network switch called HalifaxLAN and connect it to your VM's adapter named NSNet1.
