A city host diagram labels both a physical server interface and a guest interface on a permitting VM. Which identification is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
pNIC is the metal jack on the server; vNIC is the virtual jack inside the VM that plugs into a segment or port group. Do not swap those names, and do not rename them as Horizon clients or sensor ports.
Full Explanation
A pNIC is a physical network interface on the hypervisor host and typically becomes an uplink into the host switch. A vNIC is the virtual network interface of a VM and attaches to a port group or an NSX segment port. Those two building blocks are not interchangeable, and they are not Horizon client NICs or Carbon Black sensor interfaces.
