Matt, the network engineer, has been tasked with separating network traffic between virtual machines
on a single hypervisor. Which of the following would he implement to BEST address this requirement?
(Select TWO).
A.
Virtual switch
B.
NAT
C.
System partitioning
D.
Access-list
E.
Disable spanning tree
F.
VLAN
Explanation:
A virtual local area network (VLAN) is a hardware-imposed network segmentation created by switches. A
virtual switch is a software application that allows communication between virtual machines. A
combination of the two would best satisfy the question.
Incorrect Answers:
B: NAT converts the IP addresses of internal systems found in the header of network packets into public
IP addresses.
C: System partitioning has to do with separating data on a physical hard disk.
D: The purpose of an access list is to identify specifically who can enter a facility.
E: STP creates a spanning tree within a network of connected layer-2 bridges (typically Ethernet switches),
and disables those links that are not part of the spanning tree. Disabling it will not solve the problemhttp://www.techopedia.com/definition/27140/virtual-switch-vswitch
