Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 20

A customer needs to implement a vSwitch that will allow communication between certain virtual machines (VMs). The traffic must be segmented to the VMs and separated from the host.
Which type of vSwitch meets their needs?

Answer options

• A. External switch
• B. Internal switch
• C. Private switch
• D. Restricted switch

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Private switch, as it allows VMs to communicate with each other while keeping their traffic completely isolated from the host. The other options do not provide the necessary isolation; an External switch connects to the outside network, an Internal switch allows communication with the host, and a Restricted switch is not a standard term used in this context.
