Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 90

Which two actions provide controlled Layer 2 network connectivity between virtual machines running on the same hypervisor? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use a virtual switch provided by the hypervisor.
• B. Use a virtual switch running as a separate virtual machine.
• C. Use VXLAN fabric after installing VXLAN tunneling drivers on the virtual machines.
• D. Use a single routed link to an external router on stick.
• E. Use a single trunk link to an external Layer2 switch.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers, A and B, highlight the use of a virtual switch, either provided by the hypervisor or running as a separate VM, which facilitates direct Layer 2 connectivity for virtual machines. Options C, D, and E do not provide the same level of direct Layer 2 connectivity; VXLAN is more complex and suited for different use cases, while routed and trunk links involve external devices, not direct hypervisor-managed connections.
