In Hyper-V terminology, which type of virtual switch provides connections to networks outside the Hyper-V host?

External network switch Internal virtual switch Private virtual switch External switch

Correct Answer:

External switch

Explanation:

Connecting to networks beyond the Hyper-V server is achieved by an External virtual switch. It binds to a physical network adapter on the host, so every VM connected to that switch appears on the same physical LAN as the host. This setup lets VMs access external resources, obtain addresses from the external DHCP server, and participate in VLANs if configured. Internal virtual switches only link VMs to the host, with no outside network access, while Private virtual switches keep VM traffic isolated to VMs themselves. So the External switch is the one that provides connectivity to networks outside the Hyper-V host.
