Match each network virtualization component or abstraction on the left with its corresponding operational role in an enterprise host environment on the right.
- Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC)Virtual network adapter presented to a guest operating system, assigned a unique virtual MAC address.
- Physical Network Interface Card (pNIC)Physical hardware adapter on the host server that connects virtual switching infrastructure to external physical switches.
- Virtual Switch (vSwitch)Software-based switching entity operating within host memory that connects virtual machine ports to uplink interfaces.
- Type 1 HypervisorBare-metal software layer operating directly on server hardware without relying on an underlying host operating system.
Cevap
Virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) matches with the virtual network adapter presented to a guest OS; Physical Network Interface Card (pNIC) matches with the physical hardware adapter connecting to external switches; Virtual Switch (vSwitch) matches with the software-based switching entity in host memory; Type 1 Hypervisor matches with the bare-metal software layer operating directly on server hardware.
Each virtualization element is accurately mapped to its functional role: vNIC provides virtual adapter presentation to guest VMs, pNIC acts as physical network uplink hardware, vSwitch performs host memory frame switching, and Type 1 hypervisor executes directly on bare-metal hardware.
