The Virtual Appliance has some specific requirements on the virtual switches to which its data plane
ports (PhysAdapter1 and PhysAdapter2) are connected. This chapter explains how to create a virtual
switch on a Hyper-V host that satisfies these requirements.
To configure virtual switches, you must have gained access to the Hyper-V Manager using credentials
that grant full administrative access to the host server.
Create a New Virtual Switch on the Host Server
About This Task
This is an optional step since it is possible to reconfigure the virtual switch created by default when
Hyper-V is installed to support VLANs or another acceptable custom virtual switch might be configured
on the host. However, using separate virtual switches for the data plane trac helps to isolate that
trac from other virtual devices and permits the switch to be configured specifically to meet the needs
of the VE6120H appliance.
Procedure
1. Launch the Hyper-V manager application.
