Chapter 9

When using NIC teaming with Windows Server 2012 R2 virtual machines, which of the following tasks must be completed? (Choose two answers.)

-Configure a NIC team virtual network adapter. -Create a team virtual switch.

Which of the following features are supported by the NIC team with Hyper-V virtual machines running in Windows Server 2012 R2?

-Redundancy - Aggregated bandwidth

After creating a VM, how many virtual adapters are included by default?

1

What is the maximum number of NICs used in NIC teaming for Hyper-V virtual machines?

2

How many MAC addresses are available for virtual network adapters, created by Hyper-V?

256

Creating a new virtual switch automatically connects the host operating system with the child partition VMs by default. What setting can be changed during virtual switch creation to disconnect the host OS?

Allow management operating system to share this network adapter

What is the difference between an external virtual switch and an internal virtual switch?

An internal switch doesn't allow child partition VMs to access the external network, but they can on an external switch.

Virtual network adapters in Windows Server 2012 R2 can support some hardware acceleration features. Select which one they do NOT support.

MAC address caching

Every network adapter has a hardware address. What is the common name for it and how long is it?

Media Access Control (MAC) address, 6 bytes

Select the PowerShell cmdlet with basic syntax if you want to create a private network switch called HalifaxLAN and connect it to your VM's adapter named NSNet1.

New-VMSwitch "HalifaxLAN" -NetAdapterName "NSNet1" -SwitchType Private

After creating a private virtual switch, what servers can communicate to each other?

Only VMs on the child partitions can communicate with each other only.

What is the difference between a private virtual switch and an internal virtual switch?

Private switch allows communication between child partition VMs only, whereas an internal includes the parent partition.

How does an administrator set up a new virtual network adapter to communicate on a network VLAN?

Select Enable virtual LAN identification and enter a VLAN identifier to associate the network adapter to the VLAN.

How do virtual network adapters running on a child partition communicate with the parent partition?

Synthetic adapters communicate by using the VMBus; emulated adapters communicate by making calls to the hypervisor.

A _______, like its physical counterpart, is a device that functions at layer 2 of the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model.

virtual switch

In Hyper-V terminology, what do you call a virtual switch configured to provide connections external to the Hyper-V environment?

External network switch

Which of the two types of virtual network adapters, synthetic or emulated, is called the legacy adapter and why?

Emulated is called the legacy adapter because it is a standard network adapter driver and communicates more slowly.

For virtual network adapters, Hyper-V assigns a value up to 256 to create individual MAC addresses. What happens if this is not sufficient?

If more than 256 adapters are needed, an administrator can modify the MAC address pool to be larger.

How many network interfaces does Microsoft recommend be installed in a Hyper-V server?

Two physical adapters; one adapter servicing the parent partition and the other to the child partitions

When creating a virtual switch by Hyper-V, how many virtualized ports are available?

Unlimited

How many virtual network adapters can be created on a Hyper-V server?

Up to 12 network adapters-8 synthetic and 4 emulated

What is the key benefit for creating a virtual switch?

Virtual switches have unlimited ports, so there's no need to connect physical switches by uplinks or crossover circuits.

Hyper-V created virtual switches reside in the parent partition and are part of a component called the network ______.

Virtualization Service Provider (VSP)

In which version of Windows was NIC teaming allowed for Hyper-V virtual machines?

Windows Server 2012 R2

Sometimes called a legacy adapter, the _______ is a standard network adapter driver that communicates with the parent partition by making calls directly to the hypervisor.

emulated network adapter

A(n) ______ is a virtual device that communicates with the parent partition by using a high-speed conduit called the VMBus.

synthetic network adapter

The synthetic network adapter in the child partition is a(n) ________.

synthetic network adapter
