The correct answers are B and A.
Virtualization is the process of creating a software-based version of a physical resource such as a server, storage device, or network resource. The two fundamentals of virtualization are:
A. It allows logical network devices to move traffic between virtual machines and the rest of the physical network. This means that virtualization allows for the creation of virtual networks, which are logical networks that operate independently of the physical network infrastructure. Virtual networks can be created to support specific applications or to provide additional security to a network by separating different types of traffic. Virtualization technology allows virtual machines (VMs) to communicate with each other and with the physical network through virtual network devices such as virtual switches.
B. It allows multiple operating systems and applications to run independently on one physical server. Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, each running its own operating system and applications. This allows for the consolidation of multiple servers onto a single physical server, which can reduce hardware costs, power consumption, and data center space requirements. Virtualization also enables easy migration of virtual machines between physical servers, which can improve application availability and flexibility.
C. It is not a fundamental of virtualization that it allows a physical router to directly connect NICs from each virtual machine into the network. In fact, virtualization allows for the creation of virtual routers that can provide routing functionality to virtual networks.
D. It is also not a fundamental of virtualization that some servers, virtual machines, and network gear must reside on the Internet. Virtualization can be used in private data centers, cloud environments, or on-premises environments that are not connected to the Internet.
E. Finally, the statement that the environment must be configured with one hypervisor that serves solely as a network manager to monitor SNMP traffic is incorrect. While a hypervisor can provide management capabilities for virtual machines, it is not required that it serve as a network manager to monitor SNMP traffic. Virtualization management platforms can provide a variety of management and monitoring capabilities for virtualized environments.
