7. Which is an isolated environment that supports application services that
share the underlying resources of the host operating system?

container
virtual machine
hypervisor
NFV infrastructure

Explanation: Containers are isolated environments which contain an

application and all the dependencies which the application needs to run.
Unlike a virtual machine, a container does not have a guest operating system
and uses the resources of the host operating system.

8. What is a benefit of distributed virtual switching?

It provides configuration consistency across all the hosts that are part
of the distributed switch.
It allows network traffic to flow between vSwitches within the same host.
It allows multiple vSwitches to share the same pNIC.
It provides increased packet throughput to I/O devices.

Explanation: vSwitches are created under a virtualized server and enable

VMs to communicate with each other and with external networks. Distributed

[Link] 5/15
10/22/25, 3:35 PM Chapter 27: Quiz - Virtualization (Answers) CCNPv8 ENCOR

virtual switching reduces administrative overhead by providing configuration

consistency across all the hosts that are part of the distributed switch.

9. Which three are I/O technologies used to reduce overhead and increase
throughput in an OVS environment? (Choose three.)

OVS-DPDK
PCI Passthrough
SR-IOV
ETSI NFV
MANO
MSX

Explanation: In an OVS environment every packet received interrupts the

CPU. The number of interrupts increases with high speed NICs and small
packets. To avoid overhead and increase packet throughput, I/O
technologies such as OVS-DPDK, PCI Passthrough and SR-IOV have been
developed.

10. What is a characteristic of a bare-metal server?

It runs directly on hardware.

It runs in a container.
It is typically used by clients.
It runs on a hypervisor.

Explanation: A bare-metal server is one in which the host operating system

[Link] 6/15
10/22/25, 3:35 PM Chapter 27: Quiz - Virtualization (Answers) CCNPv8 ENCOR

run directly on the physical server hardware.

11. In a server virtualization environment, what component enables VMs that

connect to vSwitches to communicate with external networks?

pNIC
vNIC
virtual gateway
emulated PCIe device

Explanation: In a virtualized server the vSwitch is connected to external

networks through a physical NIC (pNIC).

12. In a virtualized environment, what device moves data between a pNIC

and a vNIC?

vSwitch
I/O devices
VNF manager
VNF orchestrator

Explanation: There are physical NICs (pNICs) that connect to external

networks and virtual NICs (vNICs) that connect to VMs. The vSwitch is
responsible for moving data from the pNIC and sending it to the vNIC.

13. Which Cisco product provides MANO functionality to the Cisco NFV
solution?
[Link] 7/15
10/22/25, 3:35 PM Chapter 27: Quiz - Virtualization (Answers) CCNPv8 ENCOR

Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) center

Cisco Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS)
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)

Explanation: VNF management and NFV orchestration capabilities in the

Cisco NFV solution are provided by Cisco DNA Center.

14. Which component of the ETSI NFV architectural framework is

responsible for managing and controlling the NFVI hardware resources?

virtualized infrastructure manager

VNF manager
NVF orchestrator
element manager

Explanation: Within the ETSI NFV architectural framework, it is the

virtualized infrastructure manager that is responsible for managing and
controlling the NFVI hardware resources of the physical computer, storage,
and network, and the virtualized resources.

15. Which is a characteristic of a vSwitch?

Network traffic cannot flow between vSwitches within the same

virtualized server.
VMs connected to vSwitches can communicate with external networks
through vNICs.
Multiple vSwitches can share the same pNIC.

[Link] 8/15
10/22/25, 3:35 PM Chapter 27: Quiz - Virtualization (Answers) CCNPv8 ENCOR

Only one vSwitch can be created in a virtualized server

Explanation: vSwitches are created under a virtualized server and enable

VMs to communicate with each other and with external networks. Multiple
vSwitches can exist under the same virtualized server. However, traffic
cannot flow directly between vSwitches.

“Do I Know This Already?” Quiz Answers:

1. What is a virtual machine?

A software emulation of a virtual server with an operating system

A software emulation of a physical server with an operating system
A software emulation of a physical server without an operating system
A software emulation of a virtual server with or without an operating system

Explanation: A virtual machine is a software emulation of a virtual server

with an operating system.

2. What is a container?

A lightweight virtual machine

A software emulation of a physical server without an operating system
An application with its dependencies packaged inside a tarball
An isolated environment where containerized applications run.

[Link] 9/15
10/22/25, 3:35 PM Chapter 27: Quiz - Virtualization (Answers) CCNPv8 ENCOR

Explanation: A container is an isolated environment where containerized

applications run. It contains the application, along with the dependencies that
the application needs to run. It is created by a container engine running a
container image.

3. Which of the following are container engines? (Choose all that apply.)

Rkt
Docker
vSphere hypervisor
LXD

Explanation: Rkt, Docker, and LXD are container engines. The vSphere
hypervisor is a hypervisor that enables the creation of VMs.

4. What is a virtual switch (vSwitch)?

A software version of a physical multilayer switch

A software version of a physical Layer 2 switch
A software version of a physical switch with advanced routing capabilities
A cluster of switches forming a virtual switching system (VSS)

Explanation: A virtual switch (vSwitch) is a software-based Layer 2 switch

that operates like a physical Ethernet switch and enables VMs to
communicate with each other within a virtualized server and with external
physical networks through the physical network interface cards (pNICs).

5. True or false: Only a single vSwitch is supported within a virtualized

server.

True
False

Explanation: Multiple vSwitches can be created under a virtualized server,

but network traffic cannot flow directly from one vSwitch to another vSwitch
within the same host, and they cannot share the same pNIC.

6. True or false: Containers do not need vSwitches to communicate with

each other or with the outside world.

True
False

Explanation: Containers, just like VMs, rely on vSwitches (also known as

virtual bridges) for communication within a node (server) or the outside world.

defines standards to decouple network functions from proprietary
hardware-based appliances and have them run in software on standard x86
servers?

VNF
NFV
NFVI
NFVIS

Explanation: Network functions virtualization (NFV) is an architectural

framework created by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI) that defines standards to decouple network functions from proprietary
hardware-based appliances and have them run in software on standard x86
servers. It also defines how to manage and orchestrate the network
functions.
