The operating system connects to the host using VMnet1 and VMnet8.

3. What is the difference between the host system and the virtualized system?
Host operating system is a software that is installed on a computer to interact with the hardware.

Meanwhile, a virtualized system is a software installed in a virtual machine.

4. If you need to isolate this virtualized system in order to create an air gapped system, what
might you do?
I will disable network adapters to prevent the virtualized system from communicating with
the host Operating System.
5. What is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the system?
The Virtualized system has 192.168.233.128 as its IP address

8. Explain what a Domain Name Server (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) are.
 A Domain Name System (DNS) is a list of names that are assigned numerical values. The
numbers in this case are IP addresses that computers use in communicating with one
another (Shaw, and Fruhlinger, 2020).

 According to Kerravala (2018), “DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a

network protocol for IP networks in which a DHCP server assigns each host on the
network, an IP address and other information so that they can communicate with other
endpoints efficiently.”
9. Identify the MAC address for each system. What is the MAC address?
Each computer or network device on a computer network is given a MAC address, which is a
physical address and hardware address with a number that is specifically configured in
hexadecimal format (Computer Hope, 2019).
Host MAC: 68-14-01-BC-BA-7B
VM MAC: 00:0C:29:6B:BD:70
