4.2 Given a scenario, set up and configure client-side virtualization

Question 1

___ provides a way to run many different operating systems on the same desktop.

Answer 1

Client-side virtualization

Question 2

What are the 4 steps to set up client-side virtualization?

Answer 2

Verify that your system’s hardware can meet the resource requirements needed for a virtual machine.

Install a hypervisor on your local machine.

Configure virtualized hardware for the guest OS.

Last install the guest operating system.

Question 3

What is a use of client side VMs?

Answer 3

Quickly switching between operating systems.

Using multiple desktops without purchasing new hardware.

Question 4

What is a use of client side VMs?

Answer 4

Using multiple operating systems

Using multiple desktops

Question 5

What does a hypervisor do?

Answer 5

Manages the virtual platform and guest operating systems.

Question 6

What does a hypervisor do?

Answer 6

Manages the virtual platform and guest operating systems.

Question 7

It’s easy to confuse the terms ___ and ___, but while they may go hand-in-hand, they are two different concepts.

Answer 7

emulation

virtualization

Question 8

More advanced virtualization systems even allow you to create ___ and have separate VLANs configured for the different virtual machines running on your desktop.

Answer 8

virtual switches

Question 9

More advanced virtualization systems even allow you to create ___ and have separate VLANs configured for the different virtual machines running on your desktop.

Answer 9

virtual switches

Question 10

If you’re running an ___, that means that you’re running software that was designed for a completely different hardware platform. One device is effectively pretending to be another. You’re still using the original code from that existing system, but you’re running software that emulates that code on a brand new piece of hardware.

Answer 10

emulator

Question 11

Explain the difference between emulation and virtualization.

Answer 11

Emulation mimics the behavior of one machine on entirely different machines, allowing things from the emulated machine to run on the host.

Virtualization creates a second operating system on a platform meant to run that operating system.

Question 12

Just as security is vital in physical computing, it’s also important to think of security when working with virtual machines. This means implementing the same types of security controls on your virtual desktops as you would on your physical ones such as…

Answer 12

strong passwords

host based firewall

antimalware

rogue VMs

Question 13

Just as security is vital in physical computing, it’s also important to think of security when working with virtual machines. This means implementing the same types of security controls on your virtual desktops as you would on your physical ones such as…

Answer 13

strong passwords

account lock out policies

multi-factor authentication.

Question 14

In ___mode, the VM is able to communicate directly through the network to which the physical machine is connected.

Answer 14

bridge mode

Question 15

Having a VM network in ___ mode allows the VM to make outbound connections only.

Answer 15

NAT (network address translation) mode

Question 16

Having a VM network in ___ mode allows the VM to make outbound connections only.

Answer 16

NAT mode

Question 17

If you want each VM to have its own IP address on your local network, what must you enable?

Answer 17

bridged network addressing/bridge mode

allows DHCP or manual IP address assignment

Question 18

Private addressing does what?

Answer 18

allows VMs to only communicate with other VMs on that virtual network
