CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 515

How do servers connect to the network in a virtual environment?

Answer options

• A. a cable connected to a physical switch on the network
• B. wireless to an access point that is physically connected to the network
• C. a virtual switch that links to an access point that is physically connected to the network
• D. a software switch on a hypervisor that is physically connected to the network

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a software switch on a hypervisor allows multiple virtual machines to communicate with each other and the physical network. Options A and B describe physical connections, which are not applicable in a virtual environment, while C inaccurately describes the relationship between virtual and physical components.
