In a secure virtual lab environment, match each virtual machine to its designated network adapter based on its functional role and standard network segmentation principles: Virtual Machines: 1. Kali Linux (Attack Simulation & Penetration Testing) 2. Windows Server W1 (Active Directory Domain Controller) 3. Rocky Linux Web Server WS1 (Public Web Services Hosting) Network Adapters: A. Internal LAN Adapter (Restricted private network hosting core identity and directory services) B. DMZ Adapter (Perimeter network exposed to incoming public traffic but isolated from the internal core) C. Isolated External Adapter (Dedicated sandbox network simulating external attacker access)

### The pairs | Item | Matches | Why | |---|---|---| | Kali Linux | Configured adapter ending in _01 | The Kali deployment task directs you to select the configured adapter ending in `_01`. | | Windows Server W1 | Configured adapter ending in _02 | The W1 task specifies `_02` and says not to select `_01` or `_03`. | | Rocky Linux Web Server WS1 | Configured adapter ending in _03 | The WS1 task specifies `_03` and says not to select `_01` or `_02`. | ### The concept A virtual network adapter connects a VM to a configured virtual network. The suffixes distinguish the required assignments in this lab; they are not interchangeable labels. Choosing the correct adapter is a separate deployment decision from entering the correct IP settings. For example, W1's specified address does not make `_01` the right adapter for W1. ### Terms - **IP**: Internet Protocol. A network protocol that uses addresses to identify devices and route packets. - **VM**: Virtual Machine. A software-based computer deployed on virtual infrastructure. - **WS1**: The lab's name for the Rocky Linux Web Server virtual machine. ### Remember Memorize the mapping as Kali `_01`, W1 `_02`, and WS1 `_03`.
