Re: Windows Server 2019 Preview Build 17623 Hyper-V guest virtual machine network issue
Hi Marco, The Hyper-V Host virtual NIC should not prevent a virtual machine from communicating through an external switch. The Hyper-V vSwitch operates at layer 2, and as such, anyone on that broadcast domain should be able to pass traffic to the VM. For example: Host1 has the IP address of 10.10.10.1/24 Host2 has a vNIC named "vEthernet (vSwitchName)" has an IP of 169.254.x.x VM 1 on host 2 has an IP of 10.10.10.2/24 If the Windows Firewall on VM2 allows ICMP-inbound (File and Print Sharing Group), then ping should work. Also, a Hyper-V VM should be able to receive DHCP from an external DHCP server so long as that DHCP server is broadcasting on the same L2 subnet.3.7KViews0likes0Comments
