Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 827

How does a Type 2 hypervisor function?

Answer options

• A. It runs on a virtual server and includes its own operating system.
• B. It runs directly on a physical server and includes its own operating system.
• C. It is installed as an application on an already installed operating system.
• D. It enables other operating systems to run on it.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Type 2 hypervisor is designed to run as an application on top of an existing host operating system. Options A and B describe characteristics of a Type 1 hypervisor, which runs directly on hardware. Option D is too vague and does not specifically describe the setup of a Type 2 hypervisor.
