Hyper-V networking
In Hyper-V there are three types of network switches available: external, internal, and private. External network switches are tied to physical network adapters on the Hyper-V Server and they allow systems on the network to access remote systems and services. Internal network switches allow VMs on the Hyper-V Server to communicate with each other, and the Hyper-V Server itself. Private network switches allow VMs on the Hyper-V Server to communicate with each other, but not to the Hyper-V Server or outside of the Hyper-V server.
Getting ready
In this recipe we will be setting up the networks for an NLB cluster on our Hyper-V Server. To accomplish this, we will be creating three networks: production, management, and NLB Comm. The production network is an external network attached to a physical network adapter on the Hyper-V Server and it provides access to the Corp environment. The NLB Comm network is a private network used for intra-NLB communication. Lastly, the...
