Question

You have installed Hyper-V on the CorpServer server. You want to use the server to create virtual machines. Prior to creating the virtual machines, you are experimenting with virtual switches. In this lab, your task is to: Create an internal virtual switch named Switch 1. Create a private virtual switch named Switch 2. What are the steps to create the virtual switches?

Answer 1

To create an internal virtual switch named Switch 1 and a private virtual switch named Switch 2 in Hyper-V, you would use the Hyper-V Manager, select Virtual Switch Manager, and then create each switch with the appropriate settings: internal for Switch 1 and private for Switch 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create virtual switches in Hyper-V on the CorpServer server, you need to follow these steps:

1. Open Hyper-V Manager from the Start menu or by running virtmgmt.msc.
2. In the Actions pane, click on Virtual Switch Manager.
3. To create an internal virtual switch, select Internal from the list of virtual switch types. Click on Create Virtual Switch.
4. Name the new virtual switch Switch 1 and ensure the connection type is set to 'Internal'. Press OK to create the switch.
5. For a private virtual switch, repeat step 3 but select Private for the switch type.
6. Name this switch Switch 2 and press OK to finalize the creation.

Remember, an internal virtual switch allows communication between the VMs and the host machine, while a private virtual switch only allows communication between VMs on the same host and isolates them from the external network as well as the host machine.
