An implementer is preparing hardware for virtualization to create (CCNA 200-301)
An implementer is preparing hardware for virtualization to create virtual machines on a host.
What is needed to provide communication between hardware and virtual machines?
A. router
B. hypervisor
C. switch
D. straight cable
Solution
Correct answer: B. hypervisor.
Here's why:
A. router: Routers connect different networks, not directly relevant to communication between hardware and VMs on a single machine.
B. hypervisor: This is the software that sits between the physical hardware and the virtual machines. It manages the allocation of resources and provides a layer of abstraction for the VMs, allowing them to interact with the hardware in a controlled manner.
C. switch: Switches connect devices within a network, similar to routers but at a lower level. Not directly involved in VM communication with hardware.
D. straight cable: Straight cables are used for standard network connections. While they might be necessary for communication between VMs depending on the network configuration, they are not what facilitates communication between VMs and the physical hardware.
