VIRTUAL NETWORKS

THIS LAB CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES AND ACTIVITIES:

Exercise 9.1 Creating a Virtual Switch

Exercise 9.2 Creating a Virtual Network

Lab Challenge Creating an Isolated Network

Exercise 9.1 Creating a Virtual Switch

Overview In this exercise, you use the Virtual Switch Manager to create a Hyper-
V component that provides the same services to virtual machines as a
physical switch does to physical computers.
Mindset Which type of switch should you create?
Completion time 15 minutes

6. Open the Virtual Switch Manager dialog box again and take a screen shot of the
dialog box, showing the virtual switch you created, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and
then paste the resulting image into the Lab 9 worksheet file in the page provided
by pressing Ctrl+V.

Exercise 9.2 Creating a Virtual Network

Overview In this exercise, you create new virtual machines and use the virtual
switch you created in Exercise 9.1 to connect them together.

Mindset What hardware, virtual or otherwise, is necessary for Hyper-V virtual

machines to communicate with each other?
Completion time 15 minutes

Question Assuming that the virtual machines you just created have
1 Windows Server 2012 R2 installed on them, in its default
configuration, and all of the computers are configured with
appropriate IP addresses, what communications would be

possible on this virtual network?

Internal Switch the child partition can communicate 
with parent partition. Parent partition can communicate 
outside of the network

How would the communication capabilities of the virtual

network differ if you had created an external virtual switch
instead of an internal one? Why is this so?

Question External Virtual Switch both parent and child partition 
2 can communicate outside of the network. However, 
internal SW only parent can communicate outside of 
the network.

10. Take a screen shot of the Hyper-V Manager console, showing the two VMs you
created, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image into the Lab
9 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Lab
Challenge Creating an Isolated Network
Overview To complete this challenge, you must use Windows PowerShell cmdlets
to create and configure the components required to build a virtual
network that is completely isolated from all external physical networks
and the Hyper-V Host computer.
Completion time 15 minutes

Using Windows PowerShell cmdlets only, you must create a new virtual network
connecting the Vmachine5 and Vmachine6 virtual machines you created
previously in this lab. The new virtual network must be completely isolated, both
from the Hyper-V server hosting the virtual machines and from the physical
network to which the server is connected.

To create the new network, you need to create a new virtual switch and add a new
network adapter to each of the virtual machines. Write out the Windows
PowerShell commands needed to create and configure the required components.
Then take a screen shot of the Windows PowerShell interface, showing the
commands executed, by pressing Alt+Prt Scr, and then paste the resulting image
into the Lab 9 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

When connecting a virtual machine to an isolated network,

should you install a synthetic network adapter or a legacy
network adapter? Explain why.

Question We should install a synthetic network. Because isolated 
3 network doesn’t allow the child partition to connect 
physical network. Otherwise, synthetic network adapter 
can get better performance.
