3.8.2 Configuring the NVGRE using PowerShell
Hyper-V Network Virtualization policies can be centrally configured using PowerShell 3.0 and
PowerShell Remoting.
Step 1. Create a vSwitch.
Step 2. Shut down the VMs.
Step 3. Configure the Virtual Subnet ID on the Hyper-V Network Switch Ports for each Virtual
Machine on each Hyper-V Host (Host 1 and Host 2).
Step 4. Configure the Provider Address and Route records on Hyper-V Host 1 (Host 1 Only).
Step 5. Configure a Subnet Locator and Route records on each Hyper-V Host (Host 1 and Host 2).
Step 6. Add customer route.
Step 7. Configure the Provider Address and Route records on Hyper-V Host 1 (Host 1 Only).
Step 8. Configure the Virtual Subnet ID on the Hyper-V Network Switch Ports for each Virtual
Machine on each Hyper-V Host (Host 1 and Host 2).
