Lesson 2: Advanced Hyper-V Networking Features
Lesson 3: Configuring and Using Hyper-V Network Virtualization
Networking basics

• Servers
Computers dedicated to managing shared resources.
• Switches
Controls traffic within a network.
• Routers
Controls traffic between networks.
• Firewall
Screen incoming and outgoing traffic for anomalies and potential threats.

Network Virtualization

Network virtualization
• Multiple virtual networks on a same physical network Each virtual network is isolated from others

Virtual Networking

➢ Virtual networking enables communication between multiple computers, virtual machines (VMs), virtual
servers, or other devices across different office and data center locations.

➢ A virtual network connects virtual machines and devices no matter their location, using software.

Virtual Switches

A virtual switch ( vSwitch ) is a software application that controls and directs communication between virtual
machines.

▪ Communication between physical network and virtual parts of the network


▪ A virtual network adapter is a program (instead of a physical network adapter) that allows a computer to connect
to a network

Types of Virtual Switches

External:
The External virtual switch is connected to a physical network adapter that is installed in the Hyper-V hosts
which makes this communication outside the host possible.

Internal:
The Internal Virtual Switch only allows communication between virtual adapters connected to connected
VMs and the management operating system.

Private:
The virtual switch that only allows communications between the connected virtual machines that are
connected to the private virtual switch.

Advantages of Virtual Networking

o Virtual networking delivers a variety of business benefits:


1. Lowering capital expenditures
2. Lowering Maintenance costs to easily segmenting networks
3. Flexible virtual machine placement
4. Multitenant network isolation without VLANs
5. IP address reuse

Summary

• Networking is a critical part of creating a virtual machine infrastructure.

• A switch has a series of ports, each of which is connected to a computer’s network


interface adapter. Any computer connected to the switch can transmit data to any
other computer connected to the same switch.
