Microsoft Hyper-V - Network

The Network panel lets you specify network settings appropriate for the new virtual machine.

Under Virtual Network Interfaces, click Add g_V95_AddIcon16.gif to display the Virtual Network Interface Settings dialog box, select a server from the drop-down list and specify the following:

  • Network Name—Choose from the networks attached to the selected server.
  • MAC Address—You can either enter a MAC address, or have one generated automatically.
  • VLAN ID—Enter a VLAN.
  • Under IP Configuration, there are two tabs for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Choose to have the IP address obtained automatically using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), or choose to use a specific IP address by specifying the following:
    • IP Address
    • Subnet mask (for IPv4)
    • Prefix Length (for IPv6)
    • Default gateway
  • Under DNS Configuration, choose to have the DNS server obtained automatically, or to use a specific server by specifying the following:
    • Primary DNS server
    • Secondary DNS server
    • Tertiary DNS server
  • Specify a DNS Suffix for this Connection.

Note

If the NIC in a template is in the disconnected state, and the network is not selected in the Virtual Guest Package, the addition to the domain fails during the customization process. 

Workaround: For Hyper-V environments, the NIC in the template should be connected to the network to which the Virtual Machine is being deployed.
