cal Switches to Hyper-V hosts Now that the Logical Networks and Uplink and Virtual Port Profiles have been created, they need to be applied to a Logical Switch. As the converged networking model will be used, the Logical Switch will have several virtual NICs created for the Management os to use: Management Live Migration Cluster Configuring Networks for Hyper-V Network Virtualization You will need to have a Hyper-V cluster with no logical switches (or standard switches) configured and attached to VMM. Please visit http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/ library/gg610621 . aspx for details. Getting ready As a prerequisite, all of the previous recipes must be complete. Additionally, you must have at least one Hyper-V host in the environment to test with. Please see http ://technet. microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610646.8 aspx for details on how to add Hyper-V hosts to VMM. How to do it... The following diagram shows you the high-level steps involved in this recipe: Overview of Recipe: Actions: Creation of the "Default" Logical Switch for all Hyper-V hosts Deployment the "Default" Logical Switch to all Hyper-V hosts Creation of the virtual NIC interfaces on the "Default" Logical Switch for Hyper-V Management, Clustering and Live Migration This will result in a Logical Switch that is capable of hosting virtual machines using Hyper-V networking virtualization and having a copy of this switch deployed to each Hyper-V host. The first part of this recipe is to create the Logical Switch. For this, you need to perform the following steps: 1. Navigate to Fabric I Networking I Logical Switches, as shown in the following screenshot: Chapter 2 Fabric Logical Switches (0) Servers All Hosts a.e Infrastructure Networking Logical Networks MAC Address Pools Load Balancers VIP Templates Logical Switches 2. Right-click on Logical Switches and click on Create Logical Switch. Read the introduction and click on Next. 3. Enter a name and a description for the Logical Switch. In this case, enter Default. Ensure that the Enable single root I/O
