On fusion access, which of the following methods are used by virtual desktops to obtain IP addresses?

Question

Options

• ADHCP assignment
• BDNS resolution
• Ctemplate address
• Dmanual assignment

• A
  80% (20)
• B
  8% (2)
• C
  12% (3)

Explanation

On Fusion Access, virtual desktops obtain IP addresses through DHCP assignment (A) and manual (static) assignment (D) - the two standard methods for IP configuration in virtualized desktop environments. DHCP allows desktops to automatically lease addresses from a DHCP server, while manual assignment lets administrators hard-code a specific IP to a desktop for predictability.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (DNS resolution) - DNS translates hostnames to IP addresses; it does not assign IPs. A desktop needs an IP before it can even use DNS.
• C (template address) - Virtual desktop templates define the disk/OS image, not runtime IP configuration. The deployed VM gets its IP via DHCP or manual assignment after provisioning.

Memory tip: Think of it as the same two methods you'd use on any physical machine - automatic (DHCP) or manual (static). Virtual desktops behave like physical endpoints for IP assignment; DNS and templates are different layers entirely.
