Which two are benefits of virtual switching versus hardware switching? (Choose two.)

Virtual switching offers hardware independence because it runs as software on a hypervisor, abstracting the underlying physical hardware. This allows virtual machines (VMs) to be migrated between different physical servers without reconfiguring their network connectivity. It also provides increased flexibility, as virtual switches can be easily provisioned, modified, or removed programmatically without physical intervention, adapting quickly to changing network demands. Increased MTU size and extended 802.1Q VLAN range are typically features of the underlying physical network or specific hardware/software configurations, not inherent benefits of virtual switching itself. VM-level isolation is a benefit of virtualization in general, but virtual switching primarily facilitates connectivity and policy enforcement between VMs, not isolation as its primary benefit over hardware.
