So you want to get started with Hyper-V? Start here! - Part 3

Setting up a Virtual Machine Network

I’ve already created one screencast to talk about setting up a Virtual Machine on Hyper-V here, so I’m going to spend this session on Hyper-V networking.  There have been a lot of questions around the networking in Hyper-V and I’m going to talk time to walk through the Internal and Private networks, their configuration, and why you would use one over the other.  

 

My videos have moved, please check out

For all of my Hyper-V videos. 

 

Here’s some additional information on the Hyper-V networking and hardware considerations for networking.

Hardware Considerations (under Networking)

Each VM can have up to 12 NICs assigned to it.  Think that’s enough?

Is there any reason to dedicate more than one physical NIC to the VMs?  Perhaps just for throughput to the external network?  Any other reason?

Yes!

You are correct that allocating additional NICs to the VMs will increase your throughput.  Each VM can support up to 12 virtual NICs.  The bigger question will be, how many NICs can your server support <grin>.
