Module 10: Configuring advanced networking features

Lab: Configuring advanced Hyper-V networking features

Scenario

Hyper V provides several options for allowing network communication among virtual
machines. You can use Hyper V to configure virtual machines that communicate with an
external network similar to the physical hosts that you deploy traditionally. You also can use
Hyper V to configure virtual machines that can communicate only with a limited number of
other virtual machines that are hosted on the same Hyper-V host. Windows Server provides
several advanced networking features for Hyper V and virtual machines. This lesson
describes the various advanced features that are available for Hyper V virtual networks,
which you can use to best meet your organization's needs.
Exercise 1: Creating and using Hyper-V virtual switches

Scenario

A. Datum Corporation has the Hyper V virtualization platform already installed. Before
deploying Hyper V and virtual machines in the production environment, you need to ensure
that you understand the different networking options that you can configure in Hyper V. First,
you will review the current networking configuration of the Hyper V host. Then, you will
create new virtual network adapters in the parent partition. You will also create different
types of Hyper V virtual switches and explore the connectivity options that exist when using
each of the switches.

Result After completing this exercise, you should have successfully configured the Hyper V
virtual switch.
Task 1: Verify the current Hyper-V network configuration

1. On LON-HOST1 send the CTRL+ALT+DEL command and login

as Administrator with the password Pa55w.rd
2. On LON-HOST1, on the task bar, click Hyper-V Manager.
3. In Hyper-V Manager, in the Actions pane, click Virtual Switch Manager.
 4. In the Virtual Switch Manager for LON-HOST1 window, note the virtual
switch, Private Network, that has been created for LON-HOST1.

Task 2: Create virtual switches

1. On LON-HOST1, in the Virtual Switch Manager for LON-HOST1 window, in the

console tree, select the New virtual network switch item, and then in
the details pane, in the What type of virtual switch do you want to create? area,
ensure that External is selected, and then click Create Virtual Switch.
2. In the Name box, type External Switch, and then click OK.
3. In the Apply Networking Changes dialog box, click Yes.

4. The Virtual Switch Manager window closes. Open it again, and then note
the External Switch that you just created.
 5. Repeat steps 1-4 to create an internal switch named Internal Switch.
6. Open the Virtual Switch Manager again, and then note the Internal Switch that you
just created.

Task 3: Create virtual network adaptersOn

LON-HOST1 minimize Hyper-V Manager and right
click Start, and select click Windows PowerShell (Admin).
 1. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following commands, and
then press Enter after each line:
2. Add-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName LON-SVR1 -Name "New Network Adapter"

Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName LON-SVR1 -Name "New Network Adapter" -SwitchName

"External Switch"

Task 4: Use the Hyper-V virtual switches

1. Minimize the PowerShell window and Return to Hyper-V Manager.

2. In Hyper-V Manager, in the Virtual Machines pane, right-click LON-SVR1, and
then click Settings.
3. In the Settings for LON-SVR1 window, in the console tree, select the New Network
Adapter.
4. Note that the virtual switch assigned is External Switch.

5. In the Settings window, click Cancel.In the Hyper-V Manager console,

highlight LON-SVR1 and then right-click and then click Start.
6. Wait 30 seconds for the virtual machine to boot then right-click LON-SVR1, and then
click Connect.

7. Send the CTRL+ALT+DEL command by using the shortcut key on the menu.
8. Click the View menu then select Full screen mode.

Sign in to LON-SVR1 as Adatum\AdatumAdmin with the password Pa55w.rd.

9. In the Networks dialog box, click Yes.

 /8

10. Click Start, and then click Server Manager.

11. In the Server Manager console tree, select the Local Server node.
12. Click the hyperlink entitled IPv4 address assigned by DHCP, IPv6 enabled on
the Ethernet line.
13. In the Network Connections window, right-click Ethernet , and then click Status.
14. In the Ethernet Status window, click Details.

15. Note the IP address and other settings assigned to the network adapter. They should
be on the 10.0.0.39 network which is external to your virtual machine environment
which is on the 172.16.0.0/16 network.
 16. Close all open windows and leave the Server Manager open.

Task 5: Add NIC Teaming

1. On LON-SVR1 in the Server Manager console tree, select the Local Server node.
2. In the Properties details pane, next to NIC Teaming, click the Disabled hyperlink.

select Ethernet, and then click OK.

4. In the NIC Teaming dialog box, in the Teams pane, note the following:

• Team: LON-SVR1 NIC Team

• Status: OK
• Teaming Mode: Switch Independent
• Load Balancing: Address Hash
• Adapters: 1
Note: You have created a NIC team with only one adapter, which is not fault tolerant but
allows for the separation of network traffic when you are also using virtual local area
networks (VLANs).
Results: After completing this exercise, you should have successfully configured the
Hyper-V virtual switch.
Exercise 2: Configuring and using the advanced features of a virtual switch

Scenario
