Chapter 8 - Implement an Advanced Network Infrastructure Flashcards
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing Software Defined Networking (SDN). You know that SDN provides a method to centrally configure and manage physical and virtual network devices such as routers, switches, and gateways in your datacenter. Virtual network elements such as Hyper-V Virtual Switch, Hyper-V Network Virtualization, and RAS Gateway are designed to be integral elements of your SDN infrastructure. Software-defined networking provides which of the following capabilities?
A. The ability to centrally define and control policies that govern both physical and vir- tual networks, including traffic flow between these two network types
B. The ability to implement network policies in a consistent manner at scale, even as you deploy new workloads or move workloads across virtual or physical networks
C. The ability to abstract your applications and workloads from the underlying physical network, which is accomplished by virtualizing the network
D. All of these
D. SDN provides all of the listed capabilities.
You are the administrator for your company network. You plan to deploy several Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V hosts. The deployment will use Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN). What server role should you install on the network to support the planned deployment? A. Host Guardian Service B. Remote Access C. Network Controller D. Network Policy and Access Services
A. The Host Guardian Service (HGS) is the centerpiece of the guarded fabric solution. It is responsible for ensuring that Hyper-V hosts in the fabric are known to the host or enterprise and running trusted software and for managing the keys used to start up shielded VMs.
You are the administrator for your company network. By using the Network Controller server role, you implement Software Defined Networking (SDN). You have a virtual net- work named VN1 that contains servers. What should you configure if you need to ensure
that only devices from the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet can access the virtual machine in VN1?
A. Dynamic Access Control
B. Role-Based Access Control
C. Network Security Group (NSG)
D. Universal Security Group
A. Microsoft Dynamic Access Control (DAC) is a data governance tool in Windows Server 2016 that lets administrators control access settings. DAC uses centralized policies to let administrators review who has access to individual files. Files can be manually or automati- cally classified.
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing
NIC Teaming. Which of the following is true with regards to NIC Teaming? (Choose all that apply.)
A. It allows for traffic failover to prevent connectivity loss if a network component fails.
B. It prevents bandwidth aggregation.
C. It supports a maximum of five NICs in a team.
D. It supports a maximum of 32 NICs in a team.
A, D. NIC Teaming, also known as Load Balancing/Failover (LBFO), allows multiple net- work adapters to be placed into a team for the purposes of bandwidth aggregation, and/or traffic failover to maintain connectivity in the event of a network component failure.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have an Active Directory domain that contains several Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V hosts. You plan to deploy net- work virtualization and to centrally manage Datacenter Firewall policies. What component must you install for the planned deployment?
A. The Canary Network Diagnostics feature B. The Data Center Bridging (DCB) feature C. The Network Controller server role
D. The Routing role service
C. Network controllers are new to Windows Server 2016. Network controllers allow an administrator to have a centralized virtual and physical datacenter infrastructure. This allows administrators to manage, configure, and troubleshoot all of their infrastructure components from one location. The Network Controller feature allows you to configure and manage allow/deny firewall Access Control rules for your workload VMs for both East/West and North/South network traffic in your datacenter.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 server named Server1. What should you install if you need to configure Server1 as a multitenant RAS Gateway?
A. The Data Center Bridging feature
B. The Network Controller server role
C. The Network Policy and Access Services server role D. The Remote Access server role
D. To install a multitenant RAS Gateway, you must install the Remote Access server role
first. You can deploy RAS Gateway as a multitenant, software-based edge gateway and router when you are using Hyper-V Network Virtualization or you have VM networks deployed with Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). With the RAS Gateway, tenants can use Point-to-Site VPN connections to access their VM network resources in the datacenter from anywhere.
You are the administrator for your company network. You create an application named App1. App1 is going to be distributed to multiple Hyper-V virtual machines in a multiten- ant environment for both virtual and non-virtual networks. What should you include in the environment if you need to ensure that the traffic is distributed evenly among the virtual machines that host App1?
A. Network Controller and Windows Server Network Load Balancing (NLB) nodes B. Network Controller and Windows Server Software Load Balancing (SLB) nodes C. A RAS Gateway and Windows Server Network Load Balancing (NLB) nodes
D. A RAS Gateway and Windows Server Software Load Balancing (SLB) nodes
D. Remote Access Service (RAS) Gateways are used for bridging traffic between virtual and non-virtual networks. Organizations can use Software Load Balancing (SLB) to evenly distribute network traffic between the virtual network resources.
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are planning to set up NIC Teaming. You want to provide fault protection. What is the minimum number of Ethernet adapters you must have to take advantage of fault protection in NIC Teaming? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
B. To be able to use NIC Teaming, the computer system must have at least one Ethernet adapter. But if you want to provide fault protection, you must have a minimum of two Eth- ernet adapters.
You are the administrator for your company network. You want to deploy the RAS Gate- way as an Edge VPN server, an Edge DirectAccess server, or both simultaneously. The RAS Gateway will provide remote employees with connectivity to your network by using either VPN or DirectAccess connections. What RAS Gateway Mode type will you be setting up? A. Dual tenant mode B. Lone tenant mode C. Multitenant mode D. Single tenant mode
D. In single tenant mode, the RAS Gateway is used as the exterior or Internet-facing VPN or DirectAccess edge server. Single tenant mode allows organizations of any size to deploy the gateway as an exterior, or Internet-facing edge virtual private network (VPN) and DirectAccess server. In single tenant mode, you can deploy RAS Gateway on a physical server or virtual machine running Windows Server 2016.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine named VM1 that hosts a service that requires high network throughput. VM1 has a virtual network adapter that connects to a Hyper-V switch named vSwitch1. vSwitch1 has one network adapter. The network adapter supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RMDA), the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) interface, Quality of Service (QoS), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS). You need to ensure that the traffic from VM1 can be processed by multiple networking processors. What Windows PowerShell cmdlet should you run in the host of VM1? A. Set-NetAdapterRss B. Set-NetAdapterRdma C. Set-NetAdapterSriov D. Set-NetAdapterQoS
A. The Set-NetAdapterRss cmdlet sets the RSS properties on a network adapter. RSS is a scalability technology that distributes the receive network traffic among multiple processors by hashing the header of the incoming packet.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a test environment that includes two Windows Server 2016 servers named Server1 and Server2. What feature should the servers support if you need to ensure that you can implement SMB Direct between the servers?
A. Multipath I/O (MPIO)
B. Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
C. Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
D. Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ)
B. RDMA allows computers in a network to exchange data in main memory without involv- ing the processor, cache, or operating system of either computer. RDMA improves throughput and performance because it frees up resources and uses a faster data transfer rate and low- latency networking. It can be implemented for networking and storage applications.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 server named Server1. You install the Hyper-V server role on Server1, and it has eight network adapters that are dedicated to virtual machines. The network adapters are RDMA-enabled. You plan to use SDN. You will host the virtual machines for multiple tenants on the Hyper-V host. What should you implement if you need to ensure that
the network connections for the virtual machines are resilient if one or more physical network adapters fail?
A. Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
B. Switch Embedded Teaming (SET)
C. NIC Teaming on the Hyper-V host
D. Virtual Receive Side Scaling (vRSS)
B. SET is an alternative NIC Teaming solution that you can use in environments that include Hyper-V and the SDN stack in Windows Server 2016. SET allows you to group between one and eight physical Ethernet network adapters into one or more software-based virtual network adapters. These virtual network adapters provide fast performance and fault tolerance in the event of a network adapter failure.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V host named Server1 that has two network adapters that are RDMA-enabled. What cmdlet should you use if you need to verify whether SET is enabled?
A. Get-NetworkSwitchFeature
B. Get-VMNetworkAdapter
C. Get-VMNetworkAdapterFailoverConfiguration
D. Get-VMSwitch
D. The Get-VMSwitch cmdlet gets the virtual switches from a Hyper-V host. If you specify no parameters, this cmdlet returns all virtual switches from the local Hyper-V host. This will show you whether SET is enabled.
You are the administrator for your company network. You can use Policy-based QoS to control bandwidth costs, manage traffic, or negotiate service levels with bandwidth pro- viders or business departments. QoS policies can define priority through a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value. The DSCP applies a value (0–63) within the Type of Service (TOS) field in an IPv4 packet’s header and within the Traffic Class field in IPv6. This value provides classification at the Internet Protocol (IP) level, which routers can use to decide queuing behavior. You can also limit an application’s outbound network traffic by specifying a throttle rate. The Wi-Fi Alliance has established a certification for Wireless Multimedia (WMM) that defines four access categories (WMM_AC) for priori- tizing network traffic transmitted on a wireless network. Which group should have the highest DSCP value? A. Background (BK) B. Best effort (BE) C. Video (VI) D. Voice (VO)
D. In order of highest to lowest priority, the access categories are: Voice (VO), Video (VI), Best Effort (BE), and Background (BK). Voice (VO) is the highest with a DSCP range of 48–63, while Background (BK) is the lowest with a range of 8–23.
You are the administrator for your company network. Your company has 10 offices. Each office has a local network that contains several Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V hosts. All of the offices are connected by high speed, low latency WAN links. What component should you install if you need to ensure that you can use QoS policies for Live Migration traffic between the offices?
A. The Canary Network Diagnostics feature
B. The Data Center Bridging feature
C. The Multipath I/O feature
D. The Network Controller server role
E. The Routing role service
B. You can enable and configure network QoS with the Data Center Bridging (DCB) fea- ture. QoS can help manage network traffic by configuring rules that can detect congestion or reduced bandwidth, and then to prioritize, or throttle, traffic accordingly. You can use QoS to prioritize voice and video traffic, which is sensitive to latency. DCB provides band- width allocation to specific network traffic and helps to improve Ethernet transport reliabil- ity by using flow control based on priority.
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 server named Server1 that is a Hyper-V host. You have two network adapter cards on Server1 that are RDMA-capable.
