CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 52

Which of the following virtual network settings should be used if the IP addresses of the host is to be shared with the virtual machine?

Answer options

• A. NAT
• B. Bridged
• C. Host-only
• D. Custom virtual network

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The 'Bridged' option connects the virtual machine directly to the physical network, allowing it to use the same IP address range as the host. In contrast, 'NAT' provides a private IP address and translates it, 'Host-only' isolates the VM from the external network, and 'Custom virtual network' does not guarantee shared IP addresses.
