CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 50

An administrator is installing a Linux VM on a personal hypervisor. The administrator wants to have the VM's IP address on the same network as the hypervisor host so the VM has the same network properties as the physical interface of the host. To which of the following should the administrator set the network properties?

Answer options

• A. Host-only network
• B. NAT network
• C. Bridge network
• D. Overlay network

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C, Bridge network, as it connects the VM directly to the physical network, allowing it to obtain an IP address in the same subnet as the hypervisor host. Options A and D do not provide access to the same network, while B uses NAT, which creates a separate network for the VM, limiting its visibility to the local network.
