A technician is configuring a virtual machine (VM) that must communicate only with other VMs on the same physical host. The VM needs to be completely isolated from the host computer and any external networks. Which of the following virtual network modes should the technician select?
An internal network creates a software-based switch that is visible only to the virtual machines on a single host. VMs connected to the same internal network can communicate with each other but are isolated from the host computer and any external networks, meeting the scenario's requirements. 'External' networking connects the VM to the physical LAN. 'Host-only' networking creates a private network that includes the host computer and the VMs, but not external networks.
