Microsoft Virtual Server Question:
Tell us what you know about virtual server architecture?
Answer:
Virtual server consists of virtual network that in turn consists of virtual machines. It allows traffic to be isolated in virtual network while communicating with the host operating system. It allows the handling of network devices by virtual machine network service driver. This virtual machine network service driver come with the virtual server setup that is being performed on the host operating system. The main function of the network driver is to monitor the traffic and the routing packets. The virtual network can have several options defined like:
• It is not attached to physical network adapter: it has its own private network with its own DHCP server.
• It can attach to dedicated physical network adapter: in this case the virtual machines don’t have the permission to read, monitor or capture the host operating system.
• More then one network can attach to same physical network adapter: in this virtual machines can read, monitor and capture the inbound network traffic.
• Virtual machines are attached to same virtual network: same case above but in this they can perform the actions on the other virtual machines that are attached to the one.
• It is not attached to physical network adapter: it has its own private network with its own DHCP server.
• It can attach to dedicated physical network adapter: in this case the virtual machines don’t have the permission to read, monitor or capture the host operating system.
• More then one network can attach to same physical network adapter: in this virtual machines can read, monitor and capture the inbound network traffic.
• Virtual machines are attached to same virtual network: same case above but in this they can perform the actions on the other virtual machines that are attached to the one.
