A security technician is setting up a sandbox virtual machine (VM) on a workstation to analyze suspicious software binaries. According to organizational compliance policies, the guest VM must be able to send telemetry reports directly to a monitoring daemon running on the host operating system. However, the guest VM must be strictly isolated from the physical corporate LAN and blocked from initiating any outbound internet traffic. Additionally, the VM must receive an IP address automatically from a designated host-bound service without broadcasting requests to the physical network's DHCP server.
Which of the following virtual network adapter configurations should the technician apply to the guest VM?
- Host-Only modeCevap
- BBridged mode
- CNAT mode
- DInternal mode
Cevap
Host-Only mode is the correct configuration because it provides network connectivity exclusively between the guest VM and the host operating system while completely isolating the guest from external networks and physical LAN DHCP servers.
Host-Only virtual networking creates a closed virtual network interface between the hypervisor host and guest VMs. It allows the guest to communicate directly with services hosted on the host OS (such as telemetry or logging daemons) while preventing all traffic from traversing the physical host NIC to external networks or physical DHCP servers.
