200-301 Question #8: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which statement identifies the functionality of virtual machines?

Options

• AVirtualized servers run most efficiently when they are physically connected to a switch that is
• BThe hypervisor can virtualize physical components including CPU, memory, and storage
• CEach hypervisor can support a single virtual machine and a single software switch
• DThe hypervisor communicates on Layer 3 without the need for additional resources

Explanation

This question identifies the fundamental role of a hypervisor in enabling virtual machines by abstracting physical hardware resources.

Common mistakes.

• A. Virtual server efficiency is primarily driven by hypervisor resource management and physical hardware capability, not solely by a specific physical switch connection.
• C. A hypervisor is designed to support multiple concurrent virtual machines and can manage multiple virtual switches for network connectivity.
• D. While a hypervisor manages virtual network interfaces, its primary network functions involve Layer 2 virtual switching and integration with physical Layer 2/3 networks, not direct Layer 3 communication without additional resources.

Concept tested. Hypervisor virtualization of hardware resources
