350-401 Question 85
Select 2An organization is deploying virtual machines (VMs) in their data center to host a critical application. As part of the network design, the VMs must communicate with each other and with a physical server on the same VLAN. Which of the following options ensures proper connectivity for the VMs in this scenario?
- A
Ensure that the virtual switch on the hypervisor is configured with the VLAN ID matching the physical network.
- B
Configure trunking on the physical server's network interface to support all VLANs.
- C
Ensure that the virtual machines' network adapters are configured to use the same virtual switch on the hypervisor.
- D
Configure the physical network switch port connected to the hypervisor as an access port for the VLAN.
- E
Enable inter-VLAN routing on the hypervisor to allow communication between the VMs.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To ensure proper connectivity for the VMs and the physical server on the same VLAN, the virtual switch on the hypervisor must be configured with the correct VLAN ID, and the VMs must be connected to the same virtual switch. Trunking, access port configuration, or inter-VLAN routing are not required as all devices are on the same VLAN.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. The VLAN ID on the virtual switch must match the VLAN ID on the physical network to ensure proper connectivity between the VMs and the physical server.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Trunking is unnecessary if all devices, including the VMs and the physical server, are on the same VLAN.
- C. Correct.
This is correct. All VMs must connect to the same virtual switch on the hypervisor to communicate within the same VLAN.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Configuring the physical network switch port as an access port would limit connectivity to only one VLAN and is not required for this scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Inter-VLAN routing is not needed as the communication is happening within the same VLAN.
