Question

You have a computer named Computer1 that has the Hyper V feature enabled. You have two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2 hosted on Computer1. VM1 can communicate with VM2 and Compute1. VM1 tails to connect to the Internet- Computer1 can connect to the Internet. You need to ensure that VM1 can connect to the Internet. What should you do?

Options

  • AOn Computer 1, modify the network settings.
  • BEnable port mirroring on VM1.
  • CCreate an external virtual switch and configure VM1 to use the switch.
  • DOn VM1, select Enable virtual LAN identification.

Why each option

VM1 can only reach the host and other VMs, indicating it is connected to an internal virtual switch, which lacks a path to external networks.

AOn Computer 1, modify the network settings.

Modifying general network settings on Computer1 does not change the type of virtual switch VM1 is attached to, so the isolation caused by the internal switch would remain.

BEnable port mirroring on VM1.

Port mirroring duplicates network traffic to a monitoring port for analysis purposes and does not create or enable a routable path to the Internet.

CCreate an external virtual switch and configure VM1 to use the switch.Correct

An external virtual switch binds to a physical network adapter on the host, allowing VMs connected to it to send and receive traffic through that adapter and reach the Internet. Creating an external virtual switch and assigning VM1 to it provides the required external network path while Computer1 retains its existing Internet connectivity.

DOn VM1, select Enable virtual LAN identification.

Enabling virtual LAN identification (VLAN tagging) on VM1 is used for network segmentation and VLAN assignment, not for establishing an Internet-routable connection.
