All Client computers in your company run Windows 7 Enterprise. Users run Windows XP Mode guest
virtual machines (VMs) on their computers. Each client computer runs two guest VMs. Each guest
VM requires network connectivity to the other guest VM on the host computer, but most not have
network connecticity to the host computer operating system or to the internet You need to
configure each guest VM to meet the requirements. What should you do?
A.
Set each VM network adapter to Not connected.
B.
Configure each VM to use one Internal Network network adapter.
C.
Configure each VM to use one Shared Networking (NAT) network adapter.
D.
Disable Integration Features for each VM. Configure Windows Firewall to allow incoming ICMP
traffic, and remove all other Windows Firewall exceptions
Explanation:
– Shared Networking (NAT) refers to a virtual NAT (Network Address Translation) which allows the
VM to leverage the external TCP/IP network connected to the host. This is very useful if you regularly
move the host computer between different network configurations. NAT is the preferred networking
option when there is a shortage of IP addresses, a need to ensure the VM’s IP address is not
targetable from an external network, or a need for connecting using WWAN. – In contrast, Bridge
mode uses the network adapter on the host. This option appears in the drop down menu as the
name of the adapter. The VM is connected directly to the selected network connection of the
Windows 7 host, and will behave like a separate physical computer on the same network. If the host
has a wireless adapter, its name will appear in the dropdown list. In Bridge mode, Virtual Machine
Network Services driver helps redirect the incoming network traffic to the correct VM and associate
the correct MAC address in all outbound network traffic. In scenarios using VPN, Bridge mode is the
preferred option. – Choosing the option ‘Not connected’ disables the VM’s networking ability and
completely isolates it from the network. – ‘Internal Network’ option enables networking among only
the VMs on the single Windows 7 host.
