As I was building my Hyper-V home lab, I had a small road block as to creating multiple AD sites or segmenting network using one physical host in order to emulate real world scenarios. As I found little material online with what I was trying to do, I decided to create this tutorial to help others out.
First step is designing the desired network, for my lab I wanted this setup:
|
Site 1: |
Site 2: |
Site 3: |
|
192.168.1.x |
10.1.20.x |
10.1.30.x |
|
VMs in this subnet
|
VMs in this subnet
|
VMs in this subnet
|
Existing physical setup is:
Hyper-V host has 2 NICs, one is reserved for management of the server, and the second is bound to the first Virtual Switch created within Hyper-V.
Wouldn you then create 3 Internal switches for each subnet and then use 1 or more multi-homed router appliances to connect them to each other? Or to the External switch if you want all the VMs to be able to access the Internet.
Mike,
Yes you would, that router appliance is what Vyatta is.
