Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 177

Which statement describes the IP and MAC allocation requirements for virtual machines on Type 1 hypervisors?

Answer options

• A. Virtual machines do not require a unique IP or unique MAC. They share the IP and MAC address of the physical server.
• B. Each virtual machine requires a unique IP address but shares the MAC address with the physical server.
• C. Each virtual machine requires a unique IP and MAC addresses to be able to reach to other nodes.
• D. Each virtual machine requires a unique MAC address but shares the IP address with the physical server.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because each virtual machine must have its own unique IP and MAC addresses to communicate effectively on the network. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest shared addresses, which can lead to conflicts. Option D is also wrong because unique MAC addresses are necessary for proper identification of each VM on the network.
