Networking in VMM 2012 includes enhancements such as logical networks, network load balance integration, and network virtualization which enables administrators to efficiently provision network resources for a virtualized environment.
In this recipe, we will go through the logical network configuration.
A logical network linked to a network site is a user-defined group of IP subnets, VLANs, or IP subnet/VLAN pairs that is used to organize and simplify network assignments. It can be used to label networks with different purposes, for traffic isolation, and to provision networks for different types of service-level agreements (SLAs).
As VMs move across Hyper-V servers, make sure that the virtual network switches are named exactly the same in all Hyper-V servers (as they are associated with VMs). In addition, if you plan to use the Hyper-V host as part of a cluster node, make sure that you have at least two external virtual network...
