Microsoft Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 (70-740) Practice Test

Creating a private virtual switch in Hyper‑V is done with the New-VMSwitch cmdlet, providing a name and choosing the Private switch type. The Private option isolates traffic so the VMs connected to this switch can talk to each other on the same host but cannot reach the host’s physical network or other networks. By specifying the VM’s adapter name with -NetAdapterName, you’re indicating which VM adapter to connect to that switch, here named NSNet1. So the command that names the switch HalifaxLAN, assigns the VM adapter NSNet1, and marks the switch as Private properly fulfills both the naming and isolation requirements and links the switch to the specified VM adapter. The other options would create a switch tied to a physical network (External) or use a different cmdlet, which do not meet the private/isolation requirement.
