Network Security Policies

Question 1

Promiscuous Mode Accept

Answer 1

The virtual switch forwards all frames to the virtual network adapter.

Question 2

Promiscuous Mode Reject

Answer 2

The virtual switch forwards only the frames that are addressed to the virtual network adapter.

Question 3

MAC Address Changes Accept

Answer 3

If the guest operating system changes the effective MAC address of the virtual adapter to a value that differs from the MAC address assigned to the adapter in the VMX file, the virtual switch allows the inbound frame to pass.

Question 4

MAC Address Changes Reject

Answer 4

If the guest operating system changes the effective MAC address of the virtual adapter to a value that differs from the MAC address assigned to the adapter in the VMX file, the virtual switch drops all inbound frames to the adapter. If the guest OS changes the MAC address back to its original value, the virtual switch stops dropping the frames and allows inbound traffic to the adapter.

Question 5

Forged Transmits Accept

Answer 5

The virtual switch does not filter outbound frames. It permits all outbound frames, regardless of the source MAC address.

Question 6

Forged Transmits Reject

Answer 6

The virtual switch drops any outbound frame from a virtual machine virtual adapter that uses a source MAC address that differs from the MAC address assigned to the virtual adapter in the VMX file.
