Hyper-V and VLAN’s

Posted in Uncategorized on August 12th, 2009 by Chris – 1 Comment

I had to get a Hyper-V guest attached to a VLAN last night. Here’s a quick summary of what I learned.

This blog post is an excellent place to start: http://blogs.msdn.com/adamfazio/archive/2008/11/14/understanding-hyper-v-vlans.aspx

Changes I made:

Virtual Switch

The virtual switch controls how the host communicates on the network, set the VLAN ID to the VLAN your host usually communicates on.

Virtual Machine

Each Virtual Machine will have to communicate on a VLAN, so we set the VLAN ID on all the guests. In this case I’ve opted for VLAN’s 1 and 8.

Switch Port

The server is connected to a Dell PowerConnect 6248 switch, and we’ll have to make a couple changes.

Change the port VLAN mode from Access to Trunk

VLAN Membership

Now we have to change the U in on the port to a T for each VLAN we want the server to access.
