All of the new terms and concepts can be a little confusing at first, so we’ve created an article that covers the basics that you need to understand before you move on to more complex topics such as advanced VMM features and functions or planning and designing private and public clouds. These topics include:
- Hosts and host groups : Hyper-V hosts that VMM manages organized into groups based on location or purpose.
- Logical networks : Networks that represent your physical networks.
- Network sites : Logical groupings of hosts, IP Subnets and/or VLANs.
- IP address pools (logical networks) : A static pool of IP addresses used for the associated network sites’ IP subnet/VLAN pairs.
- VM networks : A network that virtual machines and hosts connect to.
- IP address pools (VM Networks) : A static pool of IP addresses for the VM network.
- Logical Switch : A template used to create virtual switches consistently across many hosts.
- Uplink port profiles : Defines the network sites associated with the switch.
- Virtual network adapter port profiles : Define the virtual network adapter properties for the virtual network adapters available with the logical switch.
- Port classifications : A label to abstract the adapter port profile settings.
- Gateways : Used to connect a Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) VM network to an external network.
